Testo Underneath Her Apron - Steeleye Span
Testo della canzone Underneath Her Apron (Steeleye Span), tratta dall'album Time
A pretty young girl, all in the month of May
A-gatherin' rushes, just at the break of day
And before she's come home, she's borne a little son
And she's rolled him up underneath her apron
All in the first part of the night when all were fast asleep
This pretty little baby, oh it began to weep
"Oh, what's that little babe that's crying out so clear
In the bedroom among the pretty maidens?"
"Oh father, dear father, it's nothing then", said she
"It's just a little bird that my sister gave to me
And I've built for it a nest and I'll warm it on my breast
So that it won't wake you early in the May morning"
All in the last part of the night when they were fast asleep
This pretty little baby again began to weep
"Oh, what's that little babe that's crying out so clear
In the bedroom among the pretty maidens?"
"Oh father, dear father, it's nothing then", said she
"It's just a little baby that someone gave to me
Let it lie, let it sleep this night along o' me
And I'll tell to you its daddy in the May morning"
"Oh, was it by a black man, or was it by a brown?
Or was it by a plowin' boy that's plowin' up and down?
I gave to you the stranger you wear with your new gown
That you've rolled up underneath your apron"
"It wasn't by a black man and it wasn't by a brown
But it was by a sailor lad that plows the water main
And 'twas him gave me the stranger I wear with my new gown
That I've rolled up underneath me apron"
"Oh, was it in the kitchen gut or was it in the hall?
Or was it in the cow shed or up against the wall?
I wish I had a firebrand to burn the building down
Where you met with him on a May morning"
"It wasn't in the kitchen gut, it wasn't in the hall
It wasn't in the cow shed nor up against the wall
It was down by yonder spring where them pretty birds do sing
That I met with him on a May morning"
