Traditional
As I walked out one May morning, one May morning betime
I met a maid from home had strayed just as the sun did shine
âWhat makes you rise so soon, my dear, your journey to pursue?â
âYour pretty little feet they tread so neat, strike off the morning dewâ.
âI'm going to feed my father's flocks, his young and tender lambsâ
âThat over hills and over dales lie waiting for their damsâ
âO stay, o stay, you handsome maid, and rest a moment hereâ
âFor there is none that you alone that I do love so dearâ.
âHow gloriously the sun doth shine, how pleasant is the airâ
âI'd rather rest on a true love's breast than any other whereâ
âFor I am thine and thou art mine, no man shall uncomfort meâ
âWe'll join our hands in wedded bands and married we shall beâ.
