As I was a walking one morning in May
To hear the birds whistle and see
the lambkins play
I espied a young damsel, so sweetly sang she
Down by the green bushes
where she chanced to meet me
"Oh why are you loitering here, pretty maid?"
"I am
waiting for my true love, " softly she said
"Shall I be your true love and will you
agree
Down by the green bushes to tarry with me?"
"I will give you fine beavers and
fine silken gowns
I will give you smart petticoats flounced to the ground
I will give you
fine jewels and live just for thee
If you'll leave your own true love and marry with
me"
"I want none of your beavers or fine silken hose
For I'm not so poor as to marry
for clothes
But if you be constant and true unto me
I'll leave my own true love and marry
with thee"
"Come let us be going, kind sir, if you please
Come let us be going from
under these trees
For yonder is coming, my true love I see
Down by the green bushes where
he thinks to meet me"
And when he came there and found she was gone
He looked very
foolish and cried quite forlorn
"She's gone with a lover and forsaken me
And left the
green bushes where she vowed to meet me"
