The Drowsy Sleeper

Arise arise you drowsy sleeper
 Arise arise it's almost day
 There's someone at your bedroom window
 A-mourning there so bitterly
 ♪
 Oh who is at my bedroom window
 A-mourning there so bitterly
 Tis I tis I your own true loved one,
 The boy you always loved the best
 Oh Mary dear go ask your father
 If you my wedded bride shall be
 If he says no, love come and tell me
 And I'll no longer trouble thee
 Oh Willie dear I dare not ask him
 For he lies in his bed at rest
 And by his side a silver dagger
 To pierce the heart I love best
 
 Oh Mary dear go ask your mother
 If you my wedded bride shall be
 If she says no, love come and tell me
 And I'll no longer trouble thee
 Oh Willie dear I need not ask her
 For she is bound to set us free
 So Willie dear go court some other
 She whispered softly unto me
 Oh I can climb the highest tree love
 And I can rob the eagle's nest
 And I can court the prettiest fair maid
 But not the one that I love best
