Lamorna (folk song)

Lyrics (Lamorna) So now I'll sing to you, about a maiden fair, I met the other evening at the corner of the square. She had a dark and roving eye, she was a charming rover, And we rode all night, through the pale moonlight away down to Lamorna. Chorus Twas down in Albert square I never shall forget, Her eyes they shone like diamonds and the evening it was wet, wet, wet. Her hair hung down in curls, she was a charming rover, And we rode all night, through the pale moonlight, away down to Lamorna. As we got in the cab, I asked her for her name, And when she gave it me, well, mine it was the same, So I lifted up her veil, for her face was covered over, And to my surprise, it was my wife, I took down to Lamorna. Chorus She said, I know you now, I knew you all along, I knew you in the dark, but I did it for a lark, And for that lark you'll pay, for the taking of the donah: You'll pay the fare, for I declare, away down to Lamorna. Chorus Lamorna (Roud 16636) is a traditional folk song/ballad associated with Cornwall, and dealing with the courtship of a man and a woman, who turned out to be his wife.
