Lyrics - Gathering Mushrooms by Clannad

Rising early out of bed
Across the fields
I steered
OWhen
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
Oand 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
OI'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
Oand 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
OAnd her lips on mine do gentle join
And we both sat down together
O.
Together
Oand her lips on mine do gentle join
And we both sat down together
O.
