1. A young gentleman came riding past,
on a snow-blue winter's day.
AHe asked to drink by our fire
Eand I was pleased to let him stay.
He drank there quietly for a while,
Eand then he turned and said to me :
A E
"Your eyes are green like summer grass,
A Eyour lips are red, like a fresh cut rose.
Your hair is soft, like an Irish stream,
A Eand your voice is filled with sweet beauty."

And the last words I heard him say

were, " I shall return, for you, my love, on Christmas Day.

2. And the night will come, but I won't sleep,
as I watch the stars that lead him.
AI cannot place where he is,
Ebut still my heart goes with him,
I'm saving all my Sunday clothes
Efor the day that I'll be leaving.
Father knows, my sister knows,
A Eand my friends, they're happy for me.
A EAnd the priest he says, you should thank God,
for the blessing, of such beauty.
And the last words I heard him say
