Who's That Knockin' at My Window? - Those Darlins

Who’s that knocking at my window

Knocks so loud and won’t come in

It is your own true-hearted lover

Rise you up and let him in

Awake, awake, don’t wake my mother

Our love’s a thing she can’t endure

She’s been the ruin of many a lover

She’ll be the ruin of many more

I wish I was a little sparrow

I’d circle like a turtledove

I’d fly away to a lonely valley

And settle down in the land of love

Who’s that knocking at my window

Knocks so loud and won’t come in

It is your own true-hearted lover

Rise you up and let him in

Awake, awake, don’t wake my father

For he is on his bed of rest

And on his breast he carries a weapon

To kill the one that I love best

Who’s that knocking at my window

Knocks so loud and won’t come in

It is your own true-hearted lover

Rise you up… and let him in
