Fine Horseman

Sleeping in my bed
Strange thoughts are running through my head
I dreamed you were playing with my hair
Fine fine sparrow, fine fine horseman
Rain falls and the wind roars
All the folks are indoors
We came through a ford
Riding over the moors
Fine fine sparrow, fine fine horseman
Your dreams among my dreams
Are blue seas amongst sunbeams;
Shades of yellow, shades of green
These are your dreams among my dreams
Fine fine sparrow, fine fin horseman
Good morning to you, farming man
Here’s to your hart, your family and land
I’ll pay down a ring and a golden band
On a field for a ride around
For a fine fine sparrow, fine fine horseman
Morning likewise maiden and man
My family’s dead, my heart is in the ground
I have no land: this is no time for a farming man
Nor a fine fine sparrow or fine fine horseman
Sleeping in my bed
Strange thoughts are running through my head
I dreamed you were playing with my hair
Fine fine sparrow, fine fine horseman
