Yonder stands a pretty little maid |
|
who she is I do not know |
|
I'll go and caught her for her beauty |
|
let her run, say yes or no |
|
Why do I wish for so much beauty |
|
it's a flower that must decay |
|
like the rose that blooms in Summer |
|
when Winter comes it fades away |
|
What do I care for golden riches |
|
what do I care for house and land |
|
what do I care waerly treasures |
|
all I want is a nice young man |
|
My love wears the tarry trousers |
|
my love wears the jacket blue |
|
my love sails upon the ocean |
|
so young men away with you |
