Young Ramble Away Lyrics

As I was a-going down Tavistock Street

My scarlet cloak, my buckles complete

Entice all the maidens all that day

Set their sweet eyes and ramble away

As I was a-going through Tavistock Fair

Saw pretty Nancy combing her hair

My cap and my ribbons bright and so gay

She could not help but look at young ramble away

Don't be led astray by Ramble Away

Lay your love down sweetly

If you do, you'll rue the day

Lay your love down sweetly

As I was a-going that night in the dark

I stood at her door, I shone as a spark

She looked through her window as if to say

Are you the young lad they call ramble away

After twenty-four weeks has passed

The fair pretty maid did sicken at last

Her gown would not meet or apron string stay

Twas through the love of young ramble away

Don't be led astray by Ramble Away

Lay your love down sweetly

If you do, you rue the day

Lay your love down sweetly

Her dad and her mum from home they were gone

When they return I'll sing them a song

Sing them a song and have them to say

Have you been playing with ramble away

All you pretty maids wherever you be

With courting young fellows don't leave yourselves free

If you should be then you rue the day

You met with the likes of young ramble away

Don't be led astray by Ramble Away

Lay your love down sweetly

If you do, you rue the day

Lay your love down sweetly

Don't be led astray by Ramble Away

Lay your love down sweetly

If you do, you rue the day

Lay your love down sweetly
