I sang a song in college like this but not exactly. It went:

One morning in the month of May down by some rolling river

A jolly sailor I did stray when I beheld my lover.

She carelessly along did stray, a picking of the daisies gay,

and sweetly sang her rondelay, just as the tide was rolling.

I wish I knew more because it is such a pretty song. I wish I could compare melodies, too. Hmmm...time for a MIDI search.
