O early, early in the spring
The cuckoo and the nightingale
So sweetly were singing, so sweetly were singing.
As I walked out one May morning,
O, there did I two lovers see,
They were taking of the air. Oâ¦
They were taking of the air. Oâ¦
Then this young couple they walked along,
And this young man he sang a song,
Thinking to gain her favorâ¦.
Thinking to gain her favorâ¦.
Since
you
have
gained
my
heart, said she,
And stol'n away my liberty,
Pray grant to me your name, sirâ¦.
Pray grant to me your name, sirâ¦.
To church then this young couple went,
And married were in sweet content,
She and her own true loverâ¦.
She and her own true loverâ¦.
