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
