Song Lyrics

Verse 1
As I walked out one May morning,
One May morn in the spring;
I leaned my back on a low-land gate,
For to hear my true love sing.
Verse 2
To hear my true love sing a song,
And to hear what he had to say;
For I wished to know more of his mind,
Before he went away.
Verse 3
I never will believe what an old man does say,
For his days they cannot be long;
And I never will believe what the young men say,
For they promise but marry [they] none.
Verse 4
There's T stand for Thomas, as I have heard them say,
And I'm certain that J stands for John;
And W stands for sweet William,
But Johnny is the handsomest man.
Verse 5
Now I'll climb up to the highest tree top,
To rob the cuckoo of her nest;
I will not tarry long, but soon will return,
And be married to the lad I love the best.
