Pretty Maid |
| It was on a fine summer’s morning |
| The birds sweetly tune on each bough |
| And as I walked out for my pleasure |
| I saw a maid milking a cow |
| Her voice was so enchanting, melodious |
| Left me quite unable to go My heart, it was loaded with sorrow |
| For the pretty maid milking her cow |
| Then to her I made my advances |
| «Good morrow most beautiful maid |
| Your beauty my heart so entrances» |
| «Pray sir do not banter,"she said |
| «I'm not such a rare precious jewel |
| That I should enamour you so I am but a poor little milk girl,» |
| Says the pretty maid milking her cow |
| The Indies afford no such jewel |
| So bright, so transparently clear |
| I do not add things to my funeral |
| Consent but to know me my dear |
| Oh, had I the Lamp of Aladdin |
| Or the wealth that gold mines can bestow |
| I’d rather be poor in a cottage |
| With the pretty girl milking her cow. |
