lyrics

Once there was a shepherd lad
Kept sheep upon the hill
An he's laid his pipe and his crook aside
And there he's slept his fill
He woke up on a riverbank
On a fine May morning
And there he spied a lady
Swimming in the clothes that she was born in

So he raised his head from his green bed
And he approached the maid
"Put on your clothes, my dear," he says
"And do not be afraid
It's fitter for a lady fair
To sew a silken seam
Than to rise on a fair May morning
And swim against the stream."

"Well if you'll not touch my mantle
And you'll leave my clothes alone
Then I'll give you all the money, sir
That you can carry home."
"I'll not touch your mantle
And I'll leave your clothes alone
But I'll take you out of the clear water
My dear, to be my own."

So he's taken her out of the clear water
And he's held her in his arms
"Put on your clothes, my dear," he says
"And hide your bounteous charms."
He's put her on a milk white steed
Himself upon another
And it's all along the way they rode
Like sister and like brother

She rode up to her father's gate
And on the door she knocked
And ready stood a porter there
And he the door unlocked
When the gates were opened
It's so nimbly she stepped in
She said, "Kind sir, you are a fool without
And I'm a maid within."

"So fare you well, my modest boy
I thank you for your care
But had you done as you desired
I'd never have left you there
I will sew no silken seam
On a fine May morning
You can bide your time 'till your time runs out
So take this as fair warning."
