Lyrics for Pretty Maid, The by Clannad:
| | | Artist: | Clannad |
| | Album: | Clannad | | Track: | Pretty Maid, The | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 77 | | | | Lyrics: | It was on a fine summer's morning
The birds sweetly tune on each bough
And as i walked out for my pleasure
I saw a maid milking a cow
Her voice was so enchanting, melodious
Left me quite unable to go
My heart, it was loaded with sorrow
For the pretty maid milking her cow
Then to her i made my advances
"good morrow most beautiful maid
Your beauty my heart so entrances"
"pray sir do not banter," she said
"i'm not such a rare precious jewel
That i should enamour you so
I am but a poor little milk girl,"
Says the pretty maid milking her cow
The indies afford no such jewel
So bright, so transparently clear
I do not add things to my funeral
Consent but to know me my dear
Oh, had i the lamp of aladdin
Or the wealth that gold mines can bestow
I'd rather be poor in a cottage
With the pretty girl milking her cow. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
