Brown haired man
Sava Lyrics

Oh brown haired man with a lightsome air,
The singer is addressing a man with brown hair who has a carefree and joyful demeanor.

so blithe and bright and fair.
The man is described as being cheerful, radiant, and attractive.

Each Tuesday when I trysted thee again
The singer had a regular meeting with the man on Tuesdays.

all the week was worth to me
The artist found meeting with the man to be the highlight of her week.

And so young were we when first found love
The artist and the man were young when they first fell in love with each other.

found ourselves in the hazel grove
The singer and the man spent time together in a grove of hazel trees.

So sweet thy kisses were to me
The singer remembers the man's kisses being very sweet and pleasant.

and thy voice was melody
The man's voice was pleasing to the artist's ears.

Oh brown haired man with a witching smile
The artist is addressing the man's charming and captivating smile.

full of love and free from guile
The artist believes the man is genuine in his love for her and isn't deceitful.

so soft beneath the lonely hawthorn tree
The two of them shared a tender moment under a hawthorn tree, which the singer associates with feeling lonely.

came thy whispered truth to me
The man spoke honestly and openly to the artist in a quiet voice.

I'll be with thee, my brown haired man
The singer promises to be with the man in the future.

in the sunshine or the shade
The singer intends to stay close to the man regardless of the circumstances.

I'll bring times of bliss to thee
The singer promises to make the man happy.

So sweet thy kisses to me
The artist thinks the man's kisses are still sweet.

and thy voice was melody
The artist still finds the man's voice pleasing.
