I'm goin' to saddle up me old grey mare,
Oh ride through the meadow without a worry or a care.
I'm a messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
I'm a messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
Oh I've ridden through the cold and the wind and the rain
Well I'm in love and I do not feel the pain
I'm a messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
A messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
Instrumental
Oh two black gates and the man shouts who goes there
Well I said I've been ridden and I've ridden through the
Cold and the wind and the rain and the sleet and the snow
And I'm in love and I do not feel the pain
I'm a messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
A messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
Instrumental
I see the light in her bedroom,
I pray to God that I didn't come here too soon.
I'm a messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
I'm a messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
Instrumental
I'm goin' to saddle up me old grey mare,
I came here without a worry or a care
I'm a messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
Just a messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
I'm a messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
Your messenger boy, bringing my love to you.
