As i roved out one fine may morning
To view the meadows and flowers gay
Who should i spy but my own true lover
As she sat by yon willow tree.

I took off my hat and i did salute her
I did salute her most courageously.
As she turned around the tears fell from her
Saying false young man you've deluded me.
And the diamond ring i behold i gave to you
A diamond ring to wear on your right hand.
But the vows you made love you went and broke them
And you wed the lassie who has the land

If i wed the lassie who has the land my love
It's that i'll rue 'till the day i die.
When misfortune falls sure the man my shun it.
It was my fault that i'll not deny.

And at night when i go to my bed of slumber
The thoughts of my love are in my mind.
As i turn around to embrace my darling
Instead of gold sure 'tis brass i find.

And i wish the queen would bring home her armies
From the west indies america and spain.
And every man to his wedded woman
Oh in hopes that i might be with thee again
