Song Lyrics
-
Oh where beest gwying, my pretty maid.
Oh where beest gwying, so early.
I be gwying kind sir, to yonder green drove,
Where my father be mowing of barley.
I be gwying kind sir, to yonder green drove,
Where my father be mowing of barley.
Verse 2
Shall I go with you, my pretty maid?
Shall I go with you my honey?
Oh no, kind sir, she answered and said,
For I'm not a gwying to ruin.
Oh no, kind sir, she answered and said,
For I'm not a gwying to ruin.
Verse 3
The lawyer he got off his horse,
Oh for to take some pleasure.
Oh will you give me one sweet kiss,
For a handful of gold and silver?
Oh will you give me one sweet kiss,
For a handful of gold and silver?
Verse 4
Oh keep your gold an dsilver too,
For I'm not a gwying to ruin.
For it's all such rogues and rascals as you,
As brings poor girls to ruin.
For it's all such rogues and rascals as you,
As brings poor girls to ruin.
