[00:16.52]three maidens a-milking did go
[00:30.95]and the wind it did blow high and the wind it did blow low
[00:39.70]it tossed their petticoats to and fro
[00:46.40]they met with some young man they know
[01:01.27]and they boldly asked him if he had any skill
[01:09.47]to catch them a small bird or two
[01:16.77]oh yes i've a very good skill
[01:31.35]and it's come along with me to yonder flowering tree
[01:39.42]and i'll catch a small bird or two
[02:15.37]so off to the greenwood went they
[02:23.28]and it's off to the greenwood went they
[02:30.31]and he tapped at the bush and the bird it did fly in
[02:38.17]a little above her lilywhite knee
[02:45.38]her sparkling eyes they did turn around
[02:52.91]just as if she had been all in a swoon
[03:00.50]and she cried "i've a bird and a very pretty bird
[03:08.60]and he's pecking away at his own ground"
[03:16.60]here's health to the bird in the bush
[03:30.34]and we'll drink up the sun, we'll drink down the moon
[03:38.52]let the people say little or much
