Gathering Mushrooms — Clannad

Rising early out of bed Across the fields I steered O

When O and I a woman I spied And a pretty fair maid appeared O.

Her head was bare I do declare She had neither hat nor feather on

And she stopped so low gave me to know It was mushrooms she was gathering O. O gathering O and she stopped so low gave me to know It was mushrooms she was gathering O.

Where are you going says my dear Why are you up so early O

I've seen you on the dewy grass Before the sower Ferdio.

Quite modestly she answered me And she said I gathering mushrooms To make my Mammy ketchup O. O ketchup O and she said I am gathering mushrooms To make my Mammy ketchup O.

Her parting breast on mine she pressed Her heart was like a feather O

And her lips on mine do gentle join And we both sat down together O. Together O and her lips on mine do gentle join And we both sat down together O.
