She dressed up in man's apparel,
Man's apparel she put on,
And she followed her true lover,
For to find him she is gone.

She rose early the very next morning,
She rose up at the break of day,
There she saw her true love William,
Walking with a lady gay.

She took a look at William Taylor,
And at the lady by his side,
Decided which one she preferred
And took the girl home for her bride.

My mother did me deadly spite
For she sent thieves in the dark of night
Put my servants all to flight
They kicked the cat and pinched my bike...
