[00:05.390]Once there was a shepherd lad kept sheep upon the hill
[00:10.150]And he's laid his pipe and his crook aside and there he's slept his fill
[00:15.840]He woke up on a riverbank on a fine May morning
[00:20.780]And there he spied a lady swimming in the clothes that she was born in
[00:29.580]So he raised his head from his green bed and he approached the maid
[00:35.090]Put on your clothes my dear he says and do not be afraid
[00:40.380]It's fitter for a lady fair to sew a silken seam
[00:45.200]Than to rise on a fair May morning and swim against the stream
[00:54.460]Well if you'll not touch my mantle and you'll leave my clothes alone
[00:59.670]Then I'll give you all the money sir that you can carry home
[01:05.390]I'll not touch your mantle and I'll leave your clothes alone
[01:09.940]But I'll take you out of the clear water my dear to be my own
[01:15.340]And he's taken her out of the clear water and he's rowed her in his arms
[01:20.690]Put on your clothes my dear he says and hide your bounteous charms
[01:26.050]He's put her on a milk white steed himself upon another
[01:31.030]And it's all along the way they rode like sister and like brother
[02:02.970]She rode up to her father's gate and she's rapped upon the pin
[02:08.310]And ready stood a porter there to let the fair maid in
[02:13.840]When the gates were opened it's so nimbly she stepped in
[02:18.180]She said Kind sir you are a fool without and I'm a maid within
[02:23.840]So fare thee well my modest boy I thank you for your care
[02:29.160]But had you done as you desired I'd never have left you there
[02:34.650]I will sew no silken seam on a fine May morning
[02:39.660]You can bide your time till your time runs out so take this as fair warning
[02:45.140]I will sew no silken seam on a fine May morning
[02:50.080]You can bide your time till your time runs out so take this as fair warning
