Solved: Heard sung by Pete Seeger in the mid-1960s.

As a boy in the 1960s, I heard this song performed by Pete Seeger on a reel to reel tape- a song collection that one of my sisters had. No one of us can remember the title, composer, or all of the words. These are the lyrics that I remember:

She said "wait just a minute till I get my shoes".
My heart gave a leap as I heard the glad news.
How I flew to the door saying "I hope you'll excuse,
My simplicity over the mountain".

It was then when the Moon had sunk in the West.
The Morning Star brightly was shining.
It was then we went on with our journey in haste,
On that trip we took over the mountain.

.... The anger of marriage was soon sped away.
Now we oftentimes talk when we've little to say,
Of that trip we took over the mountain.

.... at the altar of ....

For the past forty years I've been wondering what the song's name is , who wrote
it, and in particular, what the missing lyrics are. I remember the tune.
Any help with this quest will be deeply appreciated.

Your verses match with the last parts of this song: http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/sou...r-mountain.mp3

That song recording was taken from website here: http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/lyr...-mountain.html

And here I found the somewhat different lyrics and people talking about that Irish ballad and different artists: http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=6329


As I quite don't know what i am talking about here (this area of music is totally strange one for me), then I thought, that maybe those links are useful for you, as it is the same lyrics after all...

My heartfelt thanks to Lollipop for coming to my rescue so swiftly and ably! Wow! The links you gave me provided a wealth of resources, and as a result I learned far more about the song than I had ever hoped to. By following your leads, I was able to find the title of the version that Pete Seeger sang, and downloaded an MP3 of it from Amazon. But my discovery of the Lyrics Forum holds even greater value for me. With the Internet, dispersed yet intimate communities of like-minded souls around the planet are discovering one another. And I am pleased to become acquainted with this one.

Ahh, I am very glad, that this turned out so well for you
