Tailor`s Daughter Lyrics

Tailor`s Daughter lyrics

(Jimmy Rankin)
Fell in love with the tailor's daughter
I fell hard head
over heels
She showed me to her mother's parlour
Then we walked up the
tailor's stairs
We courted well, we courted easy
Courted well from spring
to fall
That tailor's daughter had me a-dreaming
Visions of the wedding
hall
Lay me down in sheets of linen
If you please I'll stay all
night
Come with me I'll dance at your wedding
Around to the left and
around to the right
He'd stitch for her the finest gown
Pure silk
fashioned like no other
They would come from miles around
For to see the
tailor's daughter
With music in the village hall
You would hear the
church bell ringing
Food and drink for one and all
Every songbird
singing
Lay me down in sheets of linen
If you please I'll stay all
night
Come with me I'll dance at your wedding
Around to the left and
around to the right
I awoke in a far off place
So alone and
mistaken
She'd gone off on the wedding night
Left me forsaken
I'm
drifting high, I'm drifting low
Flowing out like water
Looking up down
below
Searching for the tailor's daughter
Lay me down in sheets of
linen
If you please I'll stay all night
Come with me I'll dance at your
wedding
Around to the left and around to the right
Lay me down in sheets
of linen
If you please I'll stay all night
Come with me I'll dance at
your wedding
Around to the left and around
Around to the left and
around
Around to the left and around
To the right
