| Lyrics: | THE FALSE YOUNG MAN
As I walked out one morning in Spring
For to hear the little
birds sing,
I leaned myself against an old oak tree
For to see two lovers
meet.
For to see two lovers meet, my dear,
And hear what they did say,
That I
might learn a little more of their mind
Before l was forced away.
Before I was
forced away,
Before I was forced away,
That I might learn a little more of their
mind
Before I was forced away.
Come in, come in, my old true love,
And sit you
down by me,
For it has been three-quarters of a year
Since together we have
been.
Since together we have been, my dear,
Since together we have been,
For it
has been three quarters of a year
Since together we have been.
I can't come in, my
old true love,
For I ain't got a moment to stay,
For I heard you give your heart to
another young man,
And I've no more time to stay.
I've climbed as high a tree as
there is,
And l've robbed as rich a nest,
And I've come down without e'er a fall,
And
I'll marry who I do love best.
