The Green Bushes

歌曲歌詞

As I was a walking one morning in May

To hear the birds whistle and the nightingales sing

I saw a young maiden so sweetly sang she

Down by the Green Bushes where she chanced to meet me

"Oh why are you loitering here pretty maid "

"I am waiting for my true love " softly she said

"Will I be your true love and will you agree Oh to leave your true love and follow with me"

“I will give you fine beavers and fine silken gowns

I will give you fine petticoats flounced to the ground

I will give you fine jewels and live but for thee

If you'll leave your own true love and follow with me”

“I want none of your beavers or fine silken hose

For I'm not so poor as to marry for clothes

But if you be constant and true unto me

I'll leave my own true love and follow with thee”

“Come let us be going kind sir if you please

Let us be going from under these trees

Yonder my true love coming I see

Down by the green bushes where he haunted to meet me”

And when he came there and he found you were gone

He looked very foolish and cried quite forlorn

“She's gone with a lover and forsaken me

And left the green bushes where she vowed to meet me”
