Tell her to buy me a yard of cloth And make me a cambric dhirt thereof. Tell her to make it with a gold ring Stitch it and sew it without a seam. Tell her to wash it in yonder well, Where never a drop of water yet fell. Tell her to dry it on yonder thorn That never was rooted since Adam was born. "Oh where are you going?" "I'm going to Japan" "Give my respects to this same young man." Tell him to buy me an acre of land Between the salt sea and the sea sand.
