Blow The Candles Out by Traditional Irish
Blow The Candles Out
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm
When I was apprenticed in London, I went to see my dear
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm
The candles all were burning, the moon shone bright and clear
A# D
I knocked upon her window to ease her out of her pain
Gm Dm Gm A# D Gm
She rose up to let me in, then barred the door again
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm
I like well your behavior and this I often say
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm
I cannot rest contented when I am far away
A# D
The roads they are so muddy, we cannot walk about
Gm Dm Gm A# D Gm
So roll me in your arms, Love, and blow the candles out
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm
Your father and your mother in yonder room do lie
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm
A-hugging one another, so why not you and I?
A# D
A-hugging one another, without a fear or doubt
Gm Dm Gm A# D Gm
So roll me in your arms, Love, and blow the candles out
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm
I pray thee speak more softly of what we have to do
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm
Lest that our noise of talking should make our pleasure rue
A# D
The streets they are so nigh, Love, the people walk about
Gm Dm Gm A# D Gm
They may peep in and spy, Love, so blow the candles out
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm
And if we prove successful, Love, please name it after me
Gm Dm Gm A# Dm Gm
Treat it neat and kiss it sweet and daft it on your knee
A# D
When my three years are over, my time it will be out
Gm Dm Gm A# D Gm
And I will pay my debt to you by blowing the candles out.
