Ian & Sylvia — Awake Ye Drowsy Sleepers

[Verse 1] Awake, awake you drowsy sleeper How can you lie and slumber so When your true love is a-goin' to leave you And never to return anymore? [Verse 2] How can you slumber on your pillow When your true love must stand and wait? And must I go and wear the willow In sorrow mournin' for your sake? [Verse 3] "Oh, Molly dear, go ask your father If you my bride, my bride can be? And then return and quickly tell me And I no more shall trouble thee" [Verse 4] "Oh no, I cannot ask my father He's lyin' on his bed of rest And in his hand is a silver dagger To pierce the one that I lovе best" [Verse 5] "Down in yon valley therе grows a green yarrow I wish that yarrow shot through my breast It would end my dream, it would end my sorrow And set my troubled heart at rest"
