One Morning in May
One morning in May as I carelessly did stray to view the green meadows and the lambs sport and play In the clear morning dew as I lay down to muse A fair maiden of honour appeared in my view
Says I pretty maid how happy we could be For it is so ordained love that married we should be Let me not see you frown for this heart is your own When these words they were spoken sure the tears trickled down
Come dry up your tears there is nothing to fear I will roam through the green fields for many's the long year While the birds sang so sweet this young man proved his deceit Saying adieu pretty fair maid we shall never more meet
With my snuff box and cane the whole world I would range Like Venus or Diana in search of her swain While the moon does shine clear I will mourn for my dear Over mountains clear fountains where no-one would hear
There's one thing I know and that before I go I will never return for to hear your sad woe And there's another thing I know and that before I go That the ranger and the stranger have many's the foe
