The Banks of the Sweet Primroses Lyrics
As I walked out on a midsummer's morning
For to view the fields and to take the air
Down by the banks of the sweet primroses
There I beheld a most Love lie Fair
Three long steps I stepped up to her
Not knowing her as she passed me by
I stepped up to her thinking for to view her
She appeared to be like some virtuous bride
I says "Fair maid where are you going
Oh what's the occasion of all your brief
I will make you as happy as any lady
If you will grant to me one small relief"
"She's the stand off you're a false deceiver
You are a false deceitful man
If is you that caused my poor heart to wander
And your in the comfort lies on refrain"
I'll go down in some lonesome valley
Where no man on earth shall there me find
Where the pretty little small birds do change their voices
And every moment blows blusterous wind
