[Verse 1]
As I roved out on a fine May morning
To view the meadows and flowers gay
Oh, who should I spy but my own true lover
As she sat by yon willow tree
[Verse 2]
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"
[Verse 3]
"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"
[Verse 4]
"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 no man may shun it
I was blindfolded, I'll not deny"
