In the merry month of May when the birds begin to play I took a walk quite early in the morning There I met a pretty maid she was knitting all of her trade And I asked her could I wind her ball of yarn
Oh no kind sir she said we are strangers you and I It's then ye might have any other darling And besides I've friends in town they have money all bright in store And it's there they wind me little ball of yarn
I put my arm around her and I gently laid her down I meant to do this fair maid no harm In the middle of the green where I knew I would be seen It was there I winded up her ball of yarn
So come all you fair young maidens and a warning take be me Don't take your walk so early in the morning Where the blackbird and the thrush they are singing all in yon bush Keep your hand all on your little ball of yarn
