I must away, love, I can no longer tarry This morning's tempest I have to cross I must be guided without a stumble Into the arms I love the most. And when he came to his true love's dwelling He knelt down gently upon a stone And through her window he whispered lowly Is my true lover within at home? Wake up wake up love it is thine own true lover Wake up wake up love and let me in For I am tired love and oh so weary And more than near drenched to the skin. She's raised her off her down soft pillow She's raised her off and she's let him in And they were locked in each other's arms Until that long night was past and gone. And when that long night was passed and over, And when the small clouds began to grow He's taken her hand and they've kissed and parted And he saddled and mounted and away did go. I must away love I can no longer tarry This morning's tempest I have to cross I must be guided without a stumble Into the arms I love the most.
