Verse 1
'Twas down in Cupid's Garden for pleasure I did go,
All for to view the flowers that in the garden grew,
The one it was a jasmine, sweet lilies, pinks and roses,
They are the finest flowers that in the garden grow.
That in the garden grow.
Verse 2
I had not been in the garden passing half an hour,
Before I spied two maidens in a green and shady bower;
The one was lovely Nancy, so beautiful and rare,
The other was a virgin and did the laurel wear.
And did the laurel wear.
Verse 3
I boldly stepped up to her, to hear what she did say -
'Are you engaged to any young man, come tell to me I pray?'
'I am not engaged to any young man,' she solemnly did swear,
'But I mean to be a virgin, and still the laurel wear.
And still the laurel wear.'
