Come all ye maids that live at a distance Many miles from off your swain Come and assist me this very moment For to pass away some time Singing sweetly and completely Songs of pleasure and of love For my heart is with him all together Though I live not where I love When I sleep I dream about you When I wake I find no rest For every moment thinking of you My heart e'er fixed in your breast Although far distance may be assistance From my mind his love to remove Yet my heart is with him all together Though I live not where I love All the world shall be one religion Living things shall cease to die Before that I prove false to my jewel Or any way my love deny The world shall change and be most strange If ever I my mind remove For my heart is with him all together Though I live not where I love So farewell lads and farewell lasses Now I think I've got my choice I will away to yonder mountain Where I think I hear his voice And if he calls then I will follow Through the world though it is so wide For my heart is with him all together Though I live not where I love Come all ye maids that live at a distance Many miles from off your swain Come and assist me this very moment For to pass away some time Singing sweetly and completely Songs of pleasure and of love For my heart is with him all together Though I live not where I love

about

Roud 593

I first heard this song sung by Maddy Prior and Tim Hart of Steeleye Span on Summer Solstice. I decided to learn it on the Irish Bouzouki, and here we are!
