Awake, Awake

Lyrics

Awake, awake you drowsy sleeper
 Awake, awake it is almost day
 How can you sleep you cruel creature
 Since you have stolen my heart away
 Oh hush, hush, hush don't you wake my mother
 No songs of love will she let me hear
 If you sing songs go pray court some other
 Or whisper lowly in my ear
 My father lies in the next room simple
 Taking of his natural rest
 And in his right hand he hold a weapon
 He says he'll kill the one I love best
 Come Polly Bawn, come you'll stop my pining
 Sit you down by the side of me
 And put your loving arms around me
 And say you'll love no one but me
 I'll go with you in some lonesome valley
 There I will spend my days with you
 Though all my meals will be of the freshest berries
 And the water I drink of the morning dew
 Pretty flowers was made to bloom, love
 Pretty stars was made to shine
 Pretty girls was made for boys to love
 And maybe you was made for mine
