Searching for Lambs Songtext
von Lisa Knapp Featuring Graham Coxon

As I walked out one May morning
One May morning betime
I met a maid, from home had strayed
Just as the sun did shine

What makes you rise so soon my love
Your journey to pursue?
Your pretty little feet, they tread so sweet
Strike off the morning dew


I′m going to feed my father's flock
His young and tender lambs
That over hills and over dales
Lie waiting for their dams

Oh stay, oh stay, you handsome maid
And rest a moment here
For there is none but you alone
That I do love so dear

How gloriously the sun doth shine
How lovely is the air
I′d rather rest on my true love's breast
Than any other way


Now thou art mine and I am thine
And no man shall uncomfort thee
We'll join our hands in wedlock bands
And married we shall be
