Come With Me Now
One morning a young man
was walking his way
when he saw a fair maid
come along the highway.
He said to this fair maid,
"If you do not mind,
I will walk with you
on this fine morning"
The young maid she told a sorrowful tale
How the landlord was wicked
and forced her to wail.
And she had just left
on that very same morn
then the young man he turned and he told her
"Won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always.
Oh won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always."
(Instrumental Break)
The young man
he took this fair maid by the hand
he said, "Come with me now
to a far away land"
For he had a plan that the two could be free
to seek out their fortunes together.
They boarded a ship that would take them away
and she clung to his arm
as the ship it did sway.
When he held her and told her to not be afraid
she had felt that her troubles were over.
Won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always.
Oh won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always.
(Instrumental Break)
The two fell in love
and they soon settled down
and in no time at all,
heard the wedding bells sound.
They started a union
and they knew it would last.
They would treasure the time of their meeting.
When one morning a young man
was walking his way
and he saw a fair maid
come along the highway.
He said to this fair maid,
"If you do not mind,
I will walk with you
on this fine morning."
Won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always.
Oh won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always.
Oh won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always.
Oh won't you come with me now?
And I will look after you always.
