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