As I Roved Out

Written by: [Traditional]
Language: English
Comments: aka "The Deluded Lover". Irish folk song - One of many songs in which a young girl is bedded and abandoned by a stranger.

Note - many of the "As I Roved Out" versions actually are very similar to Seventeen Come Sunday (which can also be called "As I Roved Out").

As I roved out on a bright May morning
To view the meadows and flowers gay
Whom should I spy but my own true lover
As she sat under yon willow tree
