Verse 1
Through the groves as I was a-wandering
Out one summer's evening clear,
But who should I spy but a fair young damsel
Lamenting for her shepherd dear.
Verse 2
I boldly stepped up unto her
And she blushed as I drew near;
I says, 'Fair maid, what is your trouble,
Or what makes you so lamenting here?'
Verse 3
She says, 'Young man, if you will believe me,
My trouble is more than I can bear.
For my true love is gone, is gone and left me,
Across the seas I know not where.
Verse 4
Who is my shepherd I love so dearly,
How can I love him any more?
For he's gone, he's gone, he's gone and he's left me,
I never shall see him again, I fear.'
Verse 5
Twas down in yonder flowery garden,
Where the river runs so bright and clear;
That her cheeks was like two blooming roses
Upon the tree that bud and bear.
