It was early in the morning, to the green fields I took my way With my two hunting beagles in order there some game to see. There I spied none but Mary whom I embraced most tenderly, She was at her daily labours at the reaping of the rushes green.
As I looked all around me to view what persons I could see, There I spied none but Mary whom I embraced most tenderly. She says, “Young man go easy, go your way and let me be. Don't toss my rushes carelessly, hard labour I have gained by thee.”
“If I toss your rushes carelessly a greener bunch I'll reap for you, But sit you down beside me and a pleasant story I'll tell you.” “It's hard kind sir to refuse you, although your false love had led me astray, But I 'll sit down beside you 'till the morning dew does fade away.”
Me and my love sat courting beneath yon green wood laurel tree, And the small birds sang melodiously, exchanging their notes from tree to tree. The lark she joins in chorus as I embrace my virgin queen, Oh, Mary, my love Mary and her bonny bunch of rushes green.
Me and my love got married, great riches she has gained by me. She has servants for to wait on her and to keep her from her slavery. Her waist so small and slender, the whole wide world I would range around With Mary, my love Mary, and her bonny bunch of rushes brown.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
