As I was a walking one morning in may
I met a young couple who fondle did stray
One was a young maid so sweet and so fair
And the other was a soldier and a brave Grenadier
From out of his knapsack he took a fine fiddle
And he played her such merry tunes that you ever did hear
And he played her such merry tunes that the valleys did ring
And they both sat down together to hear the nightingale sing
And they kissed so sweet and comforting, as they clung to each other
They went arm in arm along the road like sister and brother
They went arm in arm along the road 'til they came to a stream
And they both sat down together to hear the nightingale sing
And they kissed so sweet and comforting, as they clung to each other
They went arm in arm along the road like sister and brother
They went arm in arm along the road 'til they came to a stream
And they both sat down together to hear the nightingale sing
