dawning of the day
( tommy makem version )
traditional
[ C ] as i walked out one [ G ] morning [ F ] fair , it [ C ] being in the [ G ] month of [ C ] june
the [ F ] dew was sparkling [ C ] on the grass and the [ Am ] small birds [ F ] in full [ G ] tune
and [ C ] when returning [ G ] from A [ F ] walk , by the [ C ] fields i [ F ] chanced to [ G ] stray
it was [ C ] there i met my [ G ] heart’s de – [ F ] light by the [ C ] dawning [ G ] of the [ C ] day
her head and beautiful neck were bare and mantle none she wore
her golden hair , in ringlets fair , it hung her shoulders o’er
her rosy cheeks and ruby lips , they stole my heart away
and i stood to stare at that venus fair at the dawning of the day
’where are you going my pretty fair maid , where are you going so soon?’
’i’m going a milking my cow , kind sir , it being in the month of june
the pasture that my cow feeds on , it lies so far away
and i’ve got to be there each morning fair at the dawning of the day’
’come sit you down , my pretty fair maid , supposing it was a mile
come sit you down on this primrose bank and we will chat a while
with the lambs all sporting on every side and the meadows blooming gay
i’ll pledge to you my heart and hand at the dawning of the day’
’oh no , kind sir’ the maid replied , ’i cannot tarry now
my parents wait for my return from the milking of my cow
but perhaps we’ll meet some other time , if you chance to pass this way’
she gently glided from my sight at the dawning of the day
