I wonder if anyone knows the words? Here's as much as I can remember:-

As I went out awalking one pleasant summer's evening
Down by the banks of a clear, flowing stream
In ambush I lay for to hear two lovers talking
And sweetly the streams they did gently play
A young sailor standing by, he appeared as a stranger
And he said dearest fair one I have come from afar
So don't be confused or consider it a danger
For to walk by the side of a jolly young tar.

Well indeed then kind sir the truth I will tell you
For the clothes that you wear they are dear to my heart
They are like my young william.....

Many thanks in advance
