Lyrics

My mother scolds me, baby
Honour me this day
She has a hold on me
We should run away
So we can stay together

My faith is in you only, baby
Faithful I’ll stay
You also have a hold on me
We should run away
And celebrate this May together

There’s a horse will lay down and die for us today
A little dog will run along by us this way
You can and you may heel and toe rumble away
By still waters where dark horses and black sheep
Rock to the rhythm of another beat

My mother scolds me, baby
Honour me this day
We should run away
And celebrate this May together

Bring me your hand and your heart all the way
So that I know you’re intending to stay
There is a place for us down by the sea
Where my and my lover sit silently

(repeat third verse)
