One Night as I Lay on My Bed

One night as I lay on me bed
I dreamed about a pretty maid
I was so oppressed, I could take no rest
Love did torment me so
So away to me true love I did go
But when I came to me love's window
I boldly called her by her name
Saying, "It's for your sweet sake I'm come here so late
Through this bitter frost and snow
So it's open the window, my love, do"
"Me mam and dad, they are both awake
And they will sure for to hear us speak
There'll be no excuse then but sore abuse
Many a bitter word and blow
So be gone from me window, my love, do"
"Your mam and dad, they are both asleep
And they are sure not to hear us speak
For they're sleeping sound on their bed of down
And they draw their breaths so low
So open the window, my love, do"
Me love arose and she opened the door
And just like an angel she stood on the floor
Her eyes shone bright like the stars at night
And no diamonds could shine so
So in with me true love I did go
