A friend has asked me to find the dots for a song called "A Maidens Choice" which she wants sung at her wedding. I haven't been able to find them for this song, can anyone help please?
The first few verses are:

We will go walking through the green grass, thus, thus, thus
Come all you pretty fair maids come walk along with us
So pretty and so fair as you take yourselves to be
I'll choose you for a partner, come walk along with me.

I would not marry a blacksmith, thus, thus, thus
He smuts his nose and chin come walk along with us
I'd rather marry a soldier boy who marches 'gainst the wind
A soldier boy, a soldier boy, a soldier boy for me
If I ever get married a soldier's wife I'll be.

I would no marry a doctor, thus, thus, thus
etc etc
