lyrics

"O where are you going my pretty fair maid,
With your red rosy cheeks and your curly black hair?"

"I'm a-going a-milking, kind sir," she answered me,
"For it's rolling in the dew makes the milkmaids so fair."

"O shall I go along with you my pretty fair maid?"
"Why surely you can please yourself, kind sir, "she
answered me.

"Supposing I should lay you down, ,my pretty fair maid?"
"Why surely I'd get up again, kind sir," she answered me.

"Supposing I should dirt your gown?" (etc., as above)
"Why surely it would wash again."

"Supposing you should have a child?"
"Why surely you would be the father of it."

"What should you do for linen?"
"My father he's a linen-draper."

"What would you do for a cradle?"
"My brother he's a basket maker."

"Supposing I should run away?"
"May the Devil fetch you back again."
