Gathering Mushrooms |
Rising early out of bed, across the fields I steered O |
When oh and I, a woman I spied, a pretty fair maid appeared O |
Her head was bare, I do declare, she had neither hat nor feather on |
And she stooped so low, gave me to know it was mushrooms she was gathering O |
Oh gathering O, and she stooped so low, gave me to know |
It was mushrooms she was gathering O |
«Where are you going?» |
says I, «My dear, why are you up so early O? |
I’ve seen you on the dewy grass before the sower early O» |
Quite modestly she answered me, and she gave her head one fetch up |
And she said, «I am gathering mushrooms to make my mammy ketchup O» |
Oh ketchup O, and she said, «I am gathering mushrooms |
To make my mammy ketchup O» |
Her parting breast on mine she pressed, her heart was like a feather O |
And her lips on mine do gentle join and we both sat down together O |
Together O, and her lips on mine do gentle join |
And we both sat down together O |
Rising early out of bed, across the fields I steered O |
When oh and I, a woman I spied, a pretty fair maid appeared O |
