In the morning mist in the
Northern Fells
Under a precipice where the
hill spirits dwell
That's where we first kissed under some ancient spell
And where I said farewell
Oh Sarah send me back
Send me back to the Lakelands
Pack up my
gig in my
gunny sack
I've made some new plans
If my love would take me back
I'd like one more chance
Off to
Cumbria on holiday
You came to walk the fells and I showed you the way
And off a wooded path on the moss we lay
Where you stole me away
Oh Sarah send me back
Send me back to the Lakelands
Pack up my gig in my gunny sack
I've made some new plans
If my love would take me back
I'd like one more chance
Down through
Ulveston and
Buttermere
Up top
Castlerigg where the air is clear
I know when I think of her
I can't stay here
I long for the shores of
Windermere
Oh Sarah send me back
Send me back to the Lakelands
Pack up my gig in my gunny sack
I've made some new plans
If my love will take me back
I'd like one more chance
