Lyr. Add: THE MILK MAID
Where are you going to my pretty fair maid,
With your red rosy cheeks and your coal black hair
I'm going a milking, kind sir, she said.
Rolling on the dew makes the milk maid fair.

What if I should follow you my pretty maid
With your red rosy cheeks and your coal black hair,
You are quite welcome kind sir, she said,
Rolling on the dew makes the milk maid fair.

What if you should fall down my pretty maid,
With your red rosy cheeks and your coal black hair,
You can take me up again, kind sir, she said,
Rolling on the dew makes the milk maid fair.

What if you should harm yourself my pretty maid,
With your red rosy cheeks and your coal black hair,
You'll be there to help me, sir, she said,
Rolling on the dew makes the milk maid fair.

Where will you get baby clothes my pretty maid,
With your red rosy cheeks and your coal black hair,
My father is a linen draper, sir, she said,
Rolling on the dew makes the milk maid fair.

What will you rock it in my pretty maid,
With your red rosy cheeks and your coal black hair,
My brother is a cradle maker sir she said,
Rolling on the dew makes the milk maid fair.

What if I should run away my pretty fair maid,
With your red rosy cheeks and your coal black hair,
The de'l he wo'd follow you sir, she said,
Rolling on the dew makes the milk maid fair.

What if I should come back again my pretty fair maid,
With your red rosy cheeks and your coal black hair,
The parson he will marry us and the clerk will say amen,
Your red rosy cheek would be paler then.

One of several songs with the theme: "Where are you going......"
