Verse 6
Twas on of a Saturday mornin' when I did see me darlin',
When I did see me darlin' in every high degree;
She was so fresh, a-willin' oh, an-airin' all her linen oh,
A-airin' all her linen oh, she stole my heart away.
Verse 7
Twas on of a Sunday mornin' when I did see me darlin',
When I did see me darlin' in every high degree;
She was so fresh, a-willin' oh, a-wearin' all her linen oh,
A-wearin' all her linen oh, she stole my heart away.
