¶Lyrics / Text

Thro’ bushes and thro’ briars, Of late I took my way; All for to hear the small birds sing, And the lambs to skip and play. I overheard my own true love, Her voice it was so clear, “Long time I have been waiting for The coming of my dear. Sometimes I am uneasy, And troubled in my mind, Sometimes, I think I’ll go to my love And tell to him my mind; And if I should go to my love, My love he will say nay; If I show to him my boldness, He’ll ne’er love me again.”
