Place the capo on the fourth fret to play in E Major. But I said, I've lost my waistcoat, my watch chain and my purse! Says she, I've lost my maidenhead, and that's a darned sigh worse! Chorus With my too-run-ra, lilt-fa-laddy Lilt-fa-laddy, too-run-ray [6] Other recordings [ edit ] The theme of As I Roved Out is to be found in numerous Irish and British folk songs. The Moore version is similar to an English song called The Trooper and the Maid, and there are many other versions. The song ends with the soldier abandoning the girl the next morning. She asks him when will he return and marry her but he replies: “When broken shells make Christmas bells.” Whether the words have double meanings or not, the couple end up in bed. The soldier makes the bed with her and sleeps with her after asking “lassie are you able?”In other versions, Moore changes it so it’s the girl who is anxious about whether the singer will be up to the task as she says, “I hope to God you’re able”. When broken shells make Christmas bells Irish folk music abounds with songs about young maidens “giving” themselves to rakish men who then abandon them the next morning.

The song contains several lines that can be taken in two ways. The girl says there’s plenty of oats for a horse to eat “if he’s able” and there’s plenty of wine for a soldier boy to drink “if he’s able”. Incidentally, Moore often has a little fun with this line in live performances, changing it so it refers to whether the singer is up to the task of making love to the girl. In one version Moore sings: “I got up and pulled off me cap saying I hope to God I’m able.” The Saving Grace filings are the only trademark applications ever filed by Trolcharm Limited or any other business used by Plant to run his solo career.The Irish Girl / As I Walked Out / Let the Wind Blow High or Low (Roud 308; G/D 5:946; Henry H711) Mainly Norfolk: English Shirley Collins> Songs> The Irish Girl The Irish Girl / As I Walked Out / Let the Wind Blow High or Low
