As I walked out on a midsummer's morning<br /> For to view the fields and to take the air<br /> Down by the banks of the sweet primroses<br /> There I beheld a most ?love lie? fair<br /> <br /> Three short steps, I stepped up to her<br /> Not knowing her as she passed me by<br /> I stepped up to her, thinking for to view her<br /> She appeared to be like some virtuous bride<br /> <br /> I says "Fair maid, where are you going?<br /> And what's the occasion of all your brief?<br /> I will make you as happy as any lady<br /> If you will grant to me one small relief"<br /> <br /> "Stand off, stand off, you're a false deceiver<br /> You are a false deceitful man, I know<br /> 'Tis you that has caused my poor heart to wander<br /> And in your comfort lies no refrain"<br /> <br /> So I'll go down to some lonesome valley<br /> Where no man on earth shall there me find<br /> Where the pretty little small birds do change their voices<br /> And every moment blows blusterous wind<br /> <br /> So come all young men who go a-sailing<br /> Pray pay attention to what I say<br /> For there's many a dark and a cloudy morning<br /> Turns out to be a sunshiny day |
