The song She Moved Through the Fair. It's my first upload in quite some time. I used the following simple chords:
D C D C D
My own love said to me, "My mother won't mind C D C D And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind" C D C D
And she stepped away from me and this she did say
C D C D
It will not be long, love, till our wedding day
She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her move here and move there
Then she went homeward with one star awake
Like the swan in the evening moves over the lake
The people were saying, no two e'er were wed
But one had a sorrow that never was said
She went away from me with her goods and her gear,
And that was the last that I saw of my dear.
I dreamt it last night, my own love came in
So softly she came that her feet made no din
As she laid her hand on me and this she did say
It will not be long, love, 'til our wedding day
absolutely phenomenal mate

Love all your videos. Is it not .....your lack of "kine"? Kine = cattle.
Maybe there are several versions. Doesn't matter, love the lilting sound of your voice.
