Lyrics
A fair made stood in her bower door A-wringing her lily hands And by there came a sprightly youth Fast tripping over the strands “Oh, where are you going, young John,” she says “So early in the day? It makes me think by your fast step Your journey's far away” He turned around with a dreadful look And said, “What's that to you? I'm off to see a lovely girl I love far better than you” “Now since you've played me thus false, love In summer mid the flowers So I will pay you back again In winter mid the showers” “But again, dear love, and again, dear love Will you not turn again? For as you look to other women So shall I to other men” “Go make your choice of whom you please Or I my choice will have” “I've chosen a maid more fair than you I never will deceive” She's gathered up her gay clothing And after him rode she But still he bade her turn again No farther go with him And the first town that they came into He bought her a muff and gloves But still he bade her turn again And choose some other loves “But again, dear love, and again, dear love Will you not turn again? Alas for loving you so well And you not me again” The next town that they came into He bought her a blazing ring But still he bade her turn again No further ride with him “But again, dear love, and again, dear love Will you not turn again? Alas for loving you so well And you not me again” The next town that they came into His heart it grew more warm And he was as deep in love with her As she was over again And the last town that they came into He bought her a wedding gown And so she was as happy a lady As ever the sun shone on
