She Moved Through the Fair lyrics

My true love said to me
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind

She laid her hand on me
And this she did say
‽Oh, it will not be long, love
Till our wedding day”

She stepped away from me
And she moved through the fair
And so fondly I watched her
Move here and move there

With one star awake
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake

Last night she came to me
My dead love came in
And so softly moved she
That her feet made no din

And she laid her hand on me
And this she did say
‽Oh, it will not be long, love
Till our wedding day”

My true love said to me
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
