LOCHINVAR

(JOHN DAWSON)

SOMEDAY SOON I’LL COME BY
RIDING FROM BEHIND THE HILL I’M
GONNA HAVE A BIG WHITE HORSE,
SWEAR TO GOD I WILL
GONNA HAVE A BIG BLACK HAT
GONNA HAVE MY BEDROLL PACKED I’M
GONNA COME A RIDING UP AND KNOCK UPON YOUR DOOR

CHORUS:
OH LADY IT IS SUCH A LOVELY DAY
OH LADY WELL I JUST DROPPED BY TO SAY
I’D LIKE TO TAKE YOU WITH ME WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME
WHEN I GO A-RIDING OFF INTO THE SETTING SUN

WHEN WE BOTH WERE VERY SMALL
I ASKED YA WOULD YA LEAVE IT ALL AND
COME AND RIDE AWAY WITH ME
YOU SAID WAIT AND SEE

WELL NOW WE’RE FARTHER DOWN THE LINE
AND DREAMS SHOULD NOT BE LEFT BEHIND, SO
NOW I’M ASKING YA ONE MORE TIME
TO RIDE AWAY WITH ME

CHORUS:
OH LADY IT IS SUCH A LOVELY DAY
OH LADY WELL I JUST DROPPED BY TO SAY
I’D LIKE TO TAKE YOU WITH ME
WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME
WHEN I GO A-RIDING OFF INTO THE SETTING SUN

(REPEAT LAST LINE 3X)
