w:Blow a-way the morn-ing dew How sweet the winds do blow
W:There was a knight was drunk with wine
W:Came riding down the way,
W:And there he met a lady fair
W:Among the cocks of hay.
W:
W:Singing loudly whistle in the wind,
W:Blow the winds hi, ho!
W:Blow away the morning dew,
W:How sweet the winds do blow.
W:
W:Sahes he, shall you and I lady
W:Among the grass lie down?
W:And I will have a special care
W:Of rumpling your gown.
W:
W:If you will go along with me
W:Unto my father's hall
W:You shall enjoy my maidenhead
W:And my estates and all.
W:
W:He put her on a milk-white steed,
W:Himself upon another,
W:And all the day they rode along
W:Like sister and like brother.
W:
W:And when she came to her father's gate
W:She tirled at the pin
W:And ready stood the porter there
W:To let the fair maid in.
W:
W:Says she, I am a maid within
W:And you're a fool without
W:There never were a butcher boy
W:Put me in so much doubt.
W:
W:There is a cock in father's barn
W:He never trod a hen
W:He flies about and flaps his wings
W:And I think you're one of them.
W:
W:There is a flower in our garden
W:We call it marigold
W:And if you will not when you may
W:You shall not when you would.
W:
W:When you meet a pretty maid
W:A mile or two from town
W:Never mind her gay clothing
W:But lay her on the ground.
