The Banks of the Sweet Primroses

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
