Madam |
| a maiden walking in her garden |
| but her name i do not know |
| i’ll go and court her for her beauty |
| let the answer be yes or no |
| madam, madam, i’ll come a courting |
| that your favor i may gain |
| sit you down you’re kindly welcome |
| then perhaps you may call again |
| madam i have gold and silver |
| madam i have house and land |
| madam i have a world of pleasure |
| leave it all at your command |
| don’t tell me of your gold and silver |
| don’t tell me of your house and land |
| dont tell me of your will to pleasure |
| all i want is a handsome man |
| handsome men are out of fashion |
| maidens beauty soon decays |
| you’ll be a flower of the bright summer morning |
| before the evening will fade away |
| first come the oxslip then the cruel |
| then the pink and then the maid |
| then come a new love and then come true love |
| before the evening will fade away |
| once i layed on a young man’s pillow |
| which i thought it was my own |
| now i do lay under the willow |
| all for the sake of a false young man |
| before the evening will fade away |
