Morning Dew

Trad/arrangement Jude Edwin-Scott

He was a Shepherd's son
Kept sheep upon a hill
He lay his crook and pipe aside
And there He slept his fill

He looked east and he looked west
Then gave an under look
There he spied a fair lady
Swimming in a brook

He raised his head from his green bed
Then approached the maid
Put on your clothes my dear he says
And be ye not afraid

Tis fitter for a lady fair
To sew a silken seam
Than get up on a may morning
And strive against the stream

Blow away the morning dew
The dew, the dew
Blow away the dew
Blow away the morning dew
How sweet the winds do Blow

If you'll not touch my mantle
And leave my clothes alone
I'll give you as much money
As you can carry home

I'll not touch your mantle
And I'll leave your clothes alone
I'll take you out the clear water
My dear to be my own

She's climbed out the clear water
He's taken her in his arms
Put on your clothes my dear he says
And hide those lovely charms
He's mounted her on a milk white steed
Himself upon another
And all along the way they rode
Like sister and like brother

When they came to her father's gate
Nimbly she's whipped in
Ready stood the porter there
To let the fair made in

When the gate was opened
She's twirled upon the pin
Pow! You're a fool without she says
And I'm a maid within

So fare-thee-well my modest boy
And thank you for your care
But had you done what you should do
I'd never have left you there
