lyrics

Come Write Me Down (The Wedding Song)

Come write me down, ye powers above
The man that first created love,
For I've a diamond in my eye
Wherein all my joys and comforts lie,
Wherein all my joys and comforts lie.

I will give you gold, I will give you pearl
If you can fancy me, dear girl,
Rich costly robes that you shall wear
If you can fancy me, my dear,
If you can fancy me, my dear.

It's not your gold shall me entice
To leave off pleasures to be a wife
For I don't mean or intend at all
To be at any young man's call,
To be at any young man's call.

Then go your way you scornful dame
Since you've proved false I'll prove the same
For I don't care but I shall find
Some other fair maid to my mind,
Some other fair maid to my mind.

Oh, stay young man don't be in haste
You seem afraid your time will waste
Let reason rule your roving mind
And unto you I will prove kind,
And unto you I will prove kind.

So to Church they went that very next day
And were married by asking, as I've heard say,
So now that girl she is his wife
She will prove his comforts day and night,
She will prove his comforts day and night.

So now his trouble and sorrow is past
His joy and comfort has come at last
That girl to him always said, Nay,
She will prove his comforts night and day,
She will prove his comforts night and day.

Such a broad range of roots music styles; trad English, modern Scottish, Americana. The first track is fabulous, took me right back to teenage years listening to Fairport. Hope it gets the recognition it deserves Derrick Turner
