Song Lyrics

Verse 1
Early, early in the spring,
The cuckoo and the nightingale so sweetly they did sing,
Down by the riverside a pretty girl I chanced to spy,
She was taking of fresh air,
She was taking of fresh air.
Verse 2
I said - 'Pretty maid will you go along with me?
I will show you a nearer way across the countree.'
'Sir Tittle-tattle,' she did say,
'I have a mind to go that way.'
And he soon gained her favour,
And he soon gained her favour.
Verse 3
'Now you have the will of me,
Pray, tell me what your name may be.'
'My name is Catch-me-if-you-can,
And marry me when I return.
I'm going for recreation,
I'm going for aggravation.'
Verse 4
Then her parents set out, both horse and foot,
To catch this young man if they could;
They catched the rogue and bound him fast,
They took the young man in at last.
They robbed him of his leisure.
They robbed him of his pleasure.
