Lyrics

As I went out one May morning One May morning betime I met a maid, from home had strayed Just as the sun did shine โ€˜What makes you rise so soon, my dear Your journey to pursue? Your pretty little feet, they tread so sweet, Strike off the morning dewโ€™ โ€˜Iโ€™m going to feed my fatherโ€™s flocks His young & tender lambs, That over hills and over dales Lie waiting for their damsโ€™ โ€˜O stay, o stay, you handsome maid And rest you here a while For there is none, save you alone, That I do love so dearโ€™ โ€˜Now gloriously the sun do shine And pleasant is the air Iโ€™d rather rest on a true loveโ€™s breast Than any other whereโ€™ โ€˜For I am thine and thou art mine No man shall uncomfort thee Weโ€™ll join our hands in wedded bands And married we will beโ€™
