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
