The Brown and the Yellow Ale

[00:00.32] As I was going down the road one fine morning
[00:07.88] Oh the brown and the yellow ale
[00:12.09] I met with a young man without any warning
[00:18.59] Oh the love of my heart
[00:22.39] He asked me if the woman by my side was my daughter
[00:28.02] Oh the brown and the yellow ale
[00:31.53] When I said she was my wife his manner did not altar
[00:37.38] Oh the love of my heart
[00:41.35] He asked me if I'd lend her for an hour and a day
[00:46.75] Oh the brown and the yellow ale
[00:50.40] I said if she thinks it fair you may take her away
[00:56.60] Oh love of my heart
[01:00.03] She said you take the high road and I'll take off with him
[01:05.99] Oh the brown and the yellow ale
[01:09.46] And we'll meet again by the ford in the river
[01:15.53] Oh the love of my heart
[01:19.12] I was waiting by the ford for an hour and a quarter
[01:25.03] Oh the brown and the yellow ale
[01:28.50] When she came to me 'twas without shame I saw her
[01:34.28]
[02:12.67] Oh love of my heart
[02:16.46] When she told me her story I lay down and I died
[02:22.24] Oh the brown and the yellow ale
[02:25.71] She sent two men out for timber well she never even cried
[02:31.85] Oh love of my heart
[02:36.01] A board of alder and a board of holly
[02:41.18] Oh the brown and the yellow ale
[02:44.96] And two greater yards of a shroud all about me
[02:50.78] Oh the love of my heart
[02:54.85] Now if my own little mother had never been a woman
[03:00.29] Oh the brown and the yellow ale
[03:03.82] I would tale you many's another tale about women
[03:09.16]
