Night visiting song
1. I must away now; I can no longer tarry,
C G D
this morning's tempest, I have to cross.
G -
G7 C G
I
must be guided without a stumble,
C-G D G
into the arms I love the most.
2. And when he came to his true love's
dwelling,
C G D
he knelt down gently, upon a stone.
G - G7 C G
And
through her window, he's whispered
lowly,
C-G D
G
is my true love within at home?
3. Wake up, wake up, love, it is thine own true lover,
C G D
wake up, wake up, love, and let me in.
G - G7 C G
For
I am tired, love, and oh so weary,
C-G D G
and more than near drenched to the skin.
4. She's raised her u..p her down soft pillow,
C-G D
she's raised her u...p and she's let him in.
G - G7 C G
And
they were locked in eachother's arms,
C G D G
until that long night was past and gone.
5. And when that long night was past and over,
C G D
and when the small clouds began to grow,
G - G7 C G
he's taken her hand and hey kissed and parted,
C G D G
then he saddled and mounted and away did go.
