Lyrics for One Morning in May
It was early one morning, one morning in May I spied a fair couple a-winding their way One was a lady as fair as could be And the other was a soldier and a brave lad was he They walked by the river for an hour or two When from the satchel a fiddle he drew He played out a message that made the hills ring "Hark, hark," said the lady, "hear the nightingale sing" Said the soldier to the lady, "Will you marry me?" "Oh no," says the lady, "this never can be" "Oh no," says the lady, "this n械ver can be" "I've a wif械 in Columbus and children twice three" Young ladies, young ladies, take warning by me Never place your affections on a green growing tree Never place your affections on a green growing tree If you do they'll deceive you as mine has done me It was early one morning, one morning in May
