Come Lady-Day

Come Lady-Day

When the snow is off the mountains

Come Lady-Day, come Lady-Day!

And merrily flow the fountains

Come Lady-Day, come Lady-Day!

I'll deck me with a string o' pearls

A silken mesh upon my curls,

For love will come to me

On Lady-Day, on Lady-Day!

When daffodils are dancing

Come Lady-Day, come Lady-Day!

With the sunlight on them glancing

Come Lady-Day, come Lady-Day!

I'll take a honey-cake so fine,

A golden cup of sparkling wine,

And go to meet my Love

On Lady-Day, on Lady-Day.
