Verse 1
One morning in the month of May,
As from my cot I strayed,
Just at the dawning of the day
I met a charming maid.
Verse 2
'Good morning, fair maid, and wither,' I said,
'So early, tell me now?'
Replied the maid, 'Kind sir,' she said,
'I've lost my spotted cow.'
Verse 3
'No more complain, no longer mourn,
Your cow's not lost, my dear!
For I saw her down in yonder lane,
Come, love, and I'll show you where!'
Verse 4
Then through the grove we did appear,
And crossed the flowery vale,
We clasped and kissed each other then,
Till love was all our tale.
Verse 5
Then in the grove we spent the day,
And thought it passed too soon,
At night we homeward bent our way,
While brightly shone the moon.
Verse 6
And if I should cross the flowery vale,
Or go to view the plough,
She comes and calls her gentle swain -
'I've lost my spotted cow.'
