Copper Kettle Band - Drowsy Sleeper

Awake, awake, you drowsy sleeper
Awake, awake, it's almost day
Why do you sleep and sleep in slumber
When your true love, lies far away
Go away, don't wake my mother
Forlone's a thing she can't endure
She's been the ruin of many a lover
She'll be the ruin for many a more
Awake, awake, you drowsy sleeper
Awake, awake, cause it's almost day
I've come to win you of your mother
Pray trust yourself in your darling's arms
Oh who's that knocking, knocking at my window
Knock so loud but won't come in
It is your own, true hearted lover
Won't you get up and let him in
I wish I was some little sparrow
And I had wings, could fly so high
I'd fly away, to some lonely valley
And settle down with the one I love
I'll build my house on some far river
And there I'll spend my days and years.
And I'll eat nothing but green willow
And drink nothing but my tears.
