Verse 1
Once I was courted by a bonny boy,
And for him I could never take any rest,
I loved him so well, ah! so very well,
I could build him a nest in my breast;
I could build him a nest in my breast.
Verse 2
'Twas up the green alley and down the green valley,
Like one that is troubled in mind.
I whooped and I called, and I played on my lute,
But no bonny boy could I find;
But no bonny boy could I find.
Verse 3
But now he is gone o'er the waters so far,
And I'm afraid he will never return;
But, if he loves another girl better than I,
He may have her; and why should I mourn?
He may have her, and why should I mourn?
