Craobh Rua - The Pride of the Springfield Road. I love this song! I met my love out for a walk in the merry month of May The birds were singing sweetly as we went along the way She said she loved me dearly, to me she would prove true If you will go with me my love, sure I will stay with you And we strolled along the dam, the birds sang loud and gay It's there I met my bonny brunette, she stole my heart away Cheeks they are like roses red, and her skin is as white as snow She's the darling of my heart and the pride of the Springfield Road Well now we are to marry and we have named the day Happy to be together as we go along the way We'll build ourselves a tiny house and a garden for to till Bring the children up like us, to work in the cotton mill And we strolled along the dam, the birds sang loud and gay It's there I met my bonny brunette, she stole my heart away Cheeks they are like roses red, and her skin is as white as snow She's the darling of my heart and the pride of the Springfield Road Well now we have to leave, to her parents we must go To find out if they'll have me now or if the answer's no She says they'll treat me kindly, the glass they'll surely fill Drink a toast to the bride and groom that works in the cotton mill We strolled along the dam, the birds sang loud and gay It's there I met my bonny brunette, she stole my heart away Cheeks they are like roses red, and her skin is as white as snow She's the darling of my heart and the pride of the Springfield Road I met my love out for a walk in the merry month of May The birds were singing sweetly as we went along the way She said she loved me dearly, to me she would prove true If you will go with me my love, sure I will stay with you And we strolled along the dam, the birds sang loud and gay It's there I met my bonny brunette, she stole my heart away Cheeks they are like roses red, and her skin is as white as snow She's the darling of my heart and the pride of the Springfield Road
