NEW MOWN HAY
Traditional

All under the new mown hay, ah,
I there did espy a fair pretty maid,
Under the new-mown hay, ah,
Under the new mown hay, ah

2. I asked of her could I lay her down
All under the new mown hay, ah,
But the answer that she gave to me,
Was 'Young man, leave me alone, ah, young man, leave me alone, ah!

3. 'For there is a dew that is on the grass,
Will spoil my cambric gown, ah,
And it cost my father into his purse,
Many a pound and crown, ah, many a pound and crown, ah'

Will blow the dew away, ah!
And I will lay my riding cloak,
Under the new-mown hay, ah, under the new-mown hay, ah'

It is walléd all around, ah,
There you can have my maidenhead,
And thirty thousand pound, ah, thirty thousand pound, ah'

But she give him the slip and she slipped inside,
She locked him out of door, ah, locked him out of door, ah

He never will tread the hen, ah,
But he struts all day and he flaps his wings
And I think you're just like him, ah, I think you're just like him, ah!

It's calléd the merry girl, ah
And if young men are wanting when they can
They cannot when they will, ah, they cannot when they will, ah

You thought you'd met a fool, ah
Go take your Bible in your hand
Go a little more to school, ah, go a little more to school, ah!'
