The Lark In The Morning (Bob & Ron)

The Lark In The Morning (Bob & Ron) - The Copper Family

The lark in the morning she arises

From her nest

And she ascends all

In the air with the dew upon her breast

And with the pretty ploughboy

She'll whistle and she'll sing

And at night she'll return to

Her own nest again

When his day's work is over

Oh what then will he do

Perhaps then into some near

Country wake he'll go

And with his pretty sweetheart

He'll dance and he'll sing

At night he'll return with his love back again

And as they return

From the wake unto the town

The meadows they are mowed

And the grass it is cut down

The nightingale she whistles

Upon the hawthorn spray

The moon is a-shining

Upon the new-mown hay

Good luck unto the ploughboys

Wherever they may be

They will take a winsome lass for

To sit upon their knee

And with a jug of beer boys

They'll whistle and they'll sing

For the ploughboy is

As happy as a prince or a king
