The Lady and the Roving Blade by The Irish Rovers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He always was a rover who never settled down
Freedom of the open road kept him rambling 'round
Songs and storytelling were his stock and trade
Happy as a lark was the jolly Roving Blade
[Verse 2]
And she was born a lady into high society
At home among the gentry and raised most properly
Beautiful and charming, the young men came to call
None could take her fancy; she refused them all
[Chorus]
Love is everywhere, elusive as the wind
Blowing hot or cold, no one know whеre it begins
A stirring in the blood and thе heart begins to sing
Growing to a flower like a blossom in the spring
[Verse 3]
They met by chance on morning, 'twas on a market day
They joined in conversation and the time, it whiled away
Everything in common, be it a hundred worlds apart
But Cupid's always blind in matters of the heart
[Chorus]
Love is everywhere, elusive as the wind
Blowing hot or cold, no one know where it begins
A stirring in the blood and the heart begins to sing
Growing to a flower like a blossom in the spring
[Verse 4]
Enchanted by each other, they walked along the strand
As close as long-lost lovers, strolling hand in hand
Said he, "I know this country, and could show you all its charms"
Said she, "I'll gladly go with you and nestle in your arms"
[Chorus]
Love is everywhere, elusive as the wind
Blowing hot or cold, no one know where it begins
A stirring in the blood and the heart begins to sing
Growing to a flower like a blossom in the spring
[Instrumental]
[Verse 5]
The Lady and the Roving Blade answered Cupid's call
And found a lasting true love - the most precious gift of all
Arm in arm together, they followed true love's ways
Two hearts joined as one, now, forever and a day
[Chorus]
Love is everywhere, elusive as the wind
Blowing hot or cold, no one know where it begins
A stirring in the blood and the heart begins to sing
Growing to a flower like a blossom in the spring
[Outro]
A stirring in the blood and the heart begins to sing
Growing to a flower like a blossom in the spring
He always was a rover who never settled down
Freedom of the open road kept him rambling 'round
Songs and storytelling were his stock and trade
Happy as a lark was the jolly Roving Blade
[Verse 2]
And she was born a lady into high society
At home among the gentry and raised most properly
Beautiful and charming, the young men came to call
None could take her fancy; she refused them all
[Chorus]
Love is everywhere, elusive as the wind
Blowing hot or cold, no one know whеre it begins
A stirring in the blood and thе heart begins to sing
Growing to a flower like a blossom in the spring
[Verse 3]
They met by chance on morning, 'twas on a market day
They joined in conversation and the time, it whiled away
Everything in common, be it a hundred worlds apart
But Cupid's always blind in matters of the heart
[Chorus]
Love is everywhere, elusive as the wind
Blowing hot or cold, no one know where it begins
A stirring in the blood and the heart begins to sing
Growing to a flower like a blossom in the spring
[Verse 4]
Enchanted by each other, they walked along the strand
As close as long-lost lovers, strolling hand in hand
Said he, "I know this country, and could show you all its charms"

[Chorus]
Love is everywhere, elusive as the wind
Blowing hot or cold, no one know where it begins
A stirring in the blood and the heart begins to sing
Growing to a flower like a blossom in the spring

A stirring in the blood and the heart begins to sing
Growing to a flower like a blossom in the spring
