A Kiss In The Morning Early

  • (Trad)
  • 'Twas early one morning a fair maid arose
    And dressed herself up in the finest of clothes
    And off to the shoemaker's shop sure she goes
    For the kiss in the morning early

    The cobbler arose and he soon let her in
    His awl and his hammer were neat as a pin
    And he had the will for to greet her so slim
    With a kiss in the morning early

    O Cobbler, o cobbler, 'tis soon we'll be wed
    And nestling together in a fine feather bed
    So give me two shoes with two buckles of red
    For my kiss in the morning early

    The maid hid the shoes at the back of her waist
    She praised his good cobbling and shoemaker's taste
    And home to her father she mournfully faced
    And it was in the morning early

    O Father, o Father, I've got me a man
    And he is the one I would wed if I can
    As handsome as ever in leather did stand
    For my kiss in the morning early

    So the father was thinking and thinking again
    For to wed her to riches and have him for kin
    Who knows but it might be a prince or a king
    That she met in the morning early

    Who knows but it might be a jobber from town
    Or a wealthy sea captain who's sailed the world round
    A man with some thousands and thousands of pounds
    That she met in the morning early

    So the father was smiling, his daughter embraced
    And touching the buckles he drew back in haste
    He spied the red shoes that were tied round her waist
    Oh it was in the morning early

    O daughter, o daughter, he started to shout
    When he did discover what she was about
    God knows 'twas none but that old cobbling clout
    That you met in the morning early

(as sung by Mick Hanly)
