It was early one morning, one morning in May
I spied a fair couple a-winding their way
One was a lady as fair as could be
And the other was a soldier and a brave lad was he
They walked by the river for an hour or two
When from the satchel a fiddle he drew
He played out a message that made the hills ring
"Hark, hark," said the lady, "hear the nightingale sing"
Said the soldier to the lady, "Will you marry me?"
"Oh no," says the lady, "this never can be"
"Oh no," says the lady, "this nะตver can be"
"I've a wifะต in Columbus and children twice three"
Young ladies, young ladies, take warning by me
Never place your affections on a green growing tree
Never place your affections on a green growing tree
If you do they'll deceive you as mine has done me
It was early one morning, one morning in May
