A fine young man it was indeed, | |
Mounted on his milk-white steed. | |
He rode, he rode, and he rode all alone | |
Until he came to lovely Joan. | |
“Good morning to you, my pretty maid.” | |
And “Twice good morning, sir,” she said. | |
He tipped her the wink, and she rolled her dark eye. | |
Says he to himself, “I'll be there by and by.” | |
“Oh, don't you think these pooks of hay | |
A pretty place for us to play? | |
So come with me, me sweet young thing, | |
And I'll give you my golden ring.” | |
So he took off his ring of gold, | |
Says, “Me pretty fair miss, do this behold. | |
Freely I'll give it for your maidenhead.” | |
And her cheeks they blushed like the roses red. | |
“Come give that ring into my hand | |
And I will neither stay nor stand. | |
For your ring is worth much more to me | |
Than twenty maidenheads,” said she. | |
And as he made for the pooks of hay, | |
She leapt on his horse and tore away. | |
He called, he called, but he called in vain, | |
For Joan she ne'er looked back again. | |
Nor did she she think herself quite safe | |
Until she came to her true love's gate. | |
She'd robbed him of his horse and ring | |
And she left him to rage in the meadows green. |
A fine young man it was indeed, | |
Mounted on his milkwhite steed. | |
He rode, he rode, and he rode all alone | |
Until he came to lovely Joan. | |
" Good morning to you, my pretty maid." | |
And " Twice good morning, sir," she said. | |
He tipped her the wink, and she rolled her dark eye. | |
Says he to himself, " I' ll be there by and by." | |
" Oh, don' t you think these pooks of hay | |
A pretty place for us to play? | |
So come with me, me sweet young thing, | |
And I' ll give you my golden ring." | |
So he took off his ring of gold, | |
Says, " Me pretty fair miss, do this behold. | |
Freely I' ll give it for your maidenhead." | |
And her cheeks they blushed like the roses red. | |
" Come give that ring into my hand | |
And I will neither stay nor stand. | |
For your ring is worth much more to me | |
Than twenty maidenheads," said she. | |
And as he made for the pooks of hay, | |
She leapt on his horse and tore away. | |
He called, he called, but he called in vain, | |
For Joan she ne' er looked back again. | |
Nor did she she think herself quite safe | |
Until she came to her true love' s gate. | |
She' d robbed him of his horse and ring | |
And she left him to rage in the meadows green. |
A fine young man it was indeed, | |
Mounted on his milkwhite steed. | |
