Lyrics
As I walked out one midsummer's morning
For to view the fields and to take the air
Down by the banks of the sweet primroses
There I beheld a most lovely fair
I said fair maid where can you be going
And what's the occasion of all your grief
I will make you as happy as any lady
If you will grant me once more relief
Stand off, stand off you false deceiver
You're a false deceitful man 'tis plain
It is you that is causing my poor heart to wander
And to give me comfort 'tis all in vain
Then I'll go down to some lonesome valley
Where no man on earth there shall me find
Where the pretty little small birds do change their voices
And every moment blows blusterous wind
So come all you men who go a-courting
Pray pay attention to what I say
There is many a dark and a cloudy morning
Turns out to be a sun shiny day
