T:Long Time I Courted You, Miss
B:Joyce, P. W.; "Old Irish Folk Music and Songs"
R:song
H:Air and one verse of song given from memory, as I heard them in early
H:life at home.
W:"Long time I courted you, Miss,
W:But now I've come from sea,
W:We'll make no more ado, Miss,
W:But quickly married be."
W:"Long time you courted Sally--
W:With false vows you filled her head,
W:And Susan in the valley,
W:You promised her you'd wed."

W:Chorus:
W:And sing oh, the storm is gone down,
W:The ship is in the bay;
W:The captain and the sailors all
W:Are roving far away.
