The Lady and the Roving Blade

He always was a rover who never settled down Freedom of the open road kept him rumblin' round Songs and storytellin', they were his stock and trade Happy as a lark was the Jolly Roving Blade She was born a lady into high society At home around the gentry, and raised most properly Beautiful and charmin', the young men came to call None could take her fancy She refused them all Love is everywhere Elusive as the wind Blowing hot or cold No-one knows where it begins A stirring in the blood, and a heart begins to sing Growing to a flower, like a blossom in the Spring They met by chance one mornin' T'was on the market day They joined in conversation And the time, it whiled away Everything in common, yet a hundred worlds apart But Cupid's always blind in matters of the heart Love is everywhere Elusive as the wind Blowing hot or cold No-one knows where it begins A stirring in the blood, and a heart begins to sing Growing to a flower, like a blossom in the Spring Enchanted by each other, they walked along the strand As close as long lost lovers Strolling hand in hand Says he, "I know this country And can show you all its charms." Says she, "I'll gladly go with you And nestle in your arms." Love is everywhere Elusive as the wind Blowing hot or cold No-one knows where it begins A stirring in the blood, and a heart begins to sing Growing to a flower, like a blossom in the Spring The lady and the Roving Blade answered Cupid's call And found a lasting true love, the most precious gift of all Arm in arm, together They follow true love ways Two hearts joined as one, now, forever, and today Love is everywhere Elusive as the wind Blowing hot or cold No-one knows where it begins A stirring in the blood, and a heart begins to sing Growing to a flower, like a blossom in the Spring A stirring in the blood, and a heart begins to sing Growing to a flower, like a blossom in the Spring
