The candels song

1.
When I was apprenticed in LondonI went to see my dear.
The candles all were burning,
The moon shone bright and clear.
I knocked upon her window
To ease her of her pain.
She rose up to let me in,
Then barred the door again.2.
I like your well behaviour
And this I often say.
I cannot rest contented
When I am far away.
The roads they are so muddy,
We cannot walk about.
So roll me in your arms my love
And blow the candles out.3.
Your father and your mother
In yonder room do lie.
A-hugging one another,
So why not you and I?A-hugging one another
Without a fear or doubt,
So roll me in your arms my love
And blow the candles out.4.
I prithee speak more softly
Of what we have to do.
Lest that our noise of talking
Should make our pleasure rue.
The streets they are so nigh, love,
The people walk about. They may peep in and spy, love,
So blow the candles out.
And if we prove successful, love,
Please name it after me.
Treat it neat and kiss it sweet
And daff it on your knee.
When my three years are over,
My time it will be out.
And I will pay my debt to you
By blowing the candles out.
