Irish Song Lyrics

Will You Come Over the Mountain? 
One night when the moon illumined the sky I first took a notion to marry Then I put on my cap and away I did hie You'd swear I was in a great hurry 
Till I came to the spot where often I'd been My heart gave a leap when my darling I'd seen I opened the door and I bid her goodnight Saying "Will you come over the mountain?" 
"What kind of a fit has come over you now? But I'm glad to see you so merry It is now twelve o'clock, you should be in bed Come in or you'll waken me mammy 
"If you think I am jesting, my jesting is true I've courted twelve months, and I think that should do But before I go home, I'll be married to you If you'll come with me over the mountain. 
"If I was to make an elopement with you It's sure to be wrought with great danger The neighbors would censor and tattle us all My friends they would gaze on and wonder 
"Oh let them censor and tattle away Consult with yourself, for it's very near day And I don't give a rot what the lot of them say If you'll come with me over the mountain. 
"But I must away now, it's home I must go I think it is fitting and better So farewell my darling, farewell to you now And that'll put an end to the matter 
"Oh wait just a minute, till I put on me shoes My heart gave a jump when I heard the glad news She opened the door, saying "Maybe I'll choose To come with you over the mountain. 
By this time the moon had sunk in the west 'Twas the start of a bright summer morning Off we did go, the pair of us went For the wedding our two hearts were pining 
The sagairt he came, without more delay He married us both on the very same day And it's often we talk when we've nothing to say Of the trip we took over the mountain.
