Lyr ADD: On a mountain stands a lady
(Trad)

Here is a slightly different version of this rhyme, which was obtained from my family tree book and was sung by children in Leeds, Yorkshire, England in the 1920's.

On a mountain stands a lady
Who she is I do not know
All she wants is gold and silver
All she wants is a nice young man
So fall out my very best friend
So fall out my very best friend
It's time for you to go.
