As I Went out One Morning

歌詞

As i went out one morning To breathe the air around tom paine I spied the fairest damsel That ever did walk in chains I offered her my hand She took me by the arm And i knew that very instant She was meant to do me harm ... Chant Depart from me this moment I told her with my voice Said she she did not wish to Said i but you have no choice I beg you sir she pleaded from the corners of her mouth I would secretly accept you And together we would fly south Chant Just then tom paine himself Came running from across the field Shouting at this lovely girl And commanding her to yield And as she was letting go her grip Up tom paine did come I'm sorry sir he said to me I'm sorry for what she's done
