Lyrics
Messenger Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm goin' to saddle up me old grey mare,
I'm goin' to ride through the night,
Without a worry or a care.
I'm a messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
I see the light in the bedroom,
I pray to God that I didn't come too soon.
Two big dogs and a man shouts "Who goes there ?"
I've ridden through the cold and the wind and the rain and the frost,
And the snow and I'm love and I do not feel the pain.
I'm a messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
