She Moved Through the Fair

An enduring love story, this traditional Irish folk song was first collected in Donegal by poet Padraic Colum (1881-1972) and also by musicologist Herbert Hughes (1882-1937)
The video was filmed at the Sherwood Forest Renaissance Faire and the Inishowen Peninsula of Ireland. Produced by 2002 and Tim Kennedy of Erin Shore Productions.

LYRICS
My young love said to me
My Mother won’t mind
And my Father won’t slight you
For your lack of kine
Then she stepped away from me
And this she did say
It will not be long love
‘Til our wedding day.

She stepped away from me
And she moved through the Fair
And fondly I watched her
Move here and move there
And she turned her way homeward
With one star awake
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake.

The people were saying
No two e’er were wed
But one has a sorrow
That never was said
And she smiled as she passed me
With her goods and her gear
And that was the last
That I saw of my dear.

I dreamed it last night
That my true love came in
So softly she entered
Her feet made no din
She came close beside me
And this she did say
It will not be long love
'Til our wedding day.
