Solo Chorus Solo Chorus	Verse 1. Abroad for pleasure as I was awalking it was one summer, summer's evening clear, Abroad for pleasure as I was awalking it was one summer, summer's evening clear; O there I beheld a most beautiful damsel, Lamenting for her shepherd dear, Lamenting for her shepherd dear. O there I beheld a most beautiful damsel, Lamenting for her shepherd dear, Lamenting for her shepherd dear.
Solo Chorus Solo Chorus	Verse 2. The dearest ev'ning that e'er I beheld thee; Ever more; with the lad I adore, The dearest ev'ning that e'er I beheld thee; Ever more; with the lad I adore, Wilt thou go fight yon French and Spaniards, Wilt thou leave me thus my dear? Wilt thou leave me thus my dear? Wilt thou go fight yon French and Spaniards, Wilt thou leave me thus my dear? Wilt thou leave me thus my dear?
Solo Chorus Solo Chorus	Verse 3. No more to yon green banks will I take the, With pleasure for to rest thy self and view the lambs, No more to yon green banks will I take thee, With pleasure for to rest thyself and view the lambs, But I will take thee to yon green gardens, Where those pratty flowers grow, Where those pratty, pratty flowers grow; But I will take thee to yon green gardens, Where those pratty flowers grow, Where those pratty, pratty flowers grow; But I will take thee to yon green gardens, Where those pratty flowers grow, Where those pratty, pratty, flowers grow.
