歌词
Awake Awake
Traditional. The tune and first verse were half-remembered from the singing of Elizabeth LaPrelle; the words are from Maggie Boyle’s singing of Silver Dagger.
Awake awake, you drowsy sleeper
Awake awake, it's almost day
How can you sleep, my lovely creature
Since you have stolen my heart away
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here, right by my side
And in her hand, is a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
All men are false, so says my mother
They’ll tell you wicked, loving lies
And then they’ll go and court some other
They'll leave you ere the sun does rise
Go home, go home to your father’s garden
Go home, go home, return no more
No other man may come a-courting
No other lover may cross my door
Awake awake, you drowsy sleeper
Awake awake, it's almost day
How can you sleep, my lovely creature
Since you have stolen my heart away
