Gathering Mushrooms - Lyrics by Clannad


Lyrics
Rising early out of bed
Across the fields I steered O
When O and I a woman I spied
And a pretty fair maid appeared O.
Her head was bare I do declare
She had neither hat nor feather on
And she stopped so low gave me to know
It was mushrooms she was gathering O.O gathering Oand she stopped so low gave me to know
It was mushrooms she was gathering O.
Where are you going says my dear
Why are you up so early OI've seen you on the dewy grass
Before the sower Ferdio.
Quite modestly she answered me
And she said I gathering mushrooms
To make my Mammy ketchup O.O ketchup Oand she said I am gathering mushrooms
To make my Mammy ketchup O.
Her parting breast on mine she pressed
Her heart was like a feather O
And her lips on mine do gentle join
And we both sat down together O.
Together Oand her lips on mine do gentle join
And we both sat down together O.
