[Verse 1]
False Sir John a-wooing came
To a lady young and fair
May Colvin was this lady's name
And her father's only heir
Her father's only heir
[Verse 2]
He wooed her while she spun the thread
And while they made the hay
Until he gained her low consent
To mount and ride away
To mount and ride away
[Verse 3]
"It's bring-a me some of your father's gold
And some of your mother's fee
I'll take thee to some far-off land
And there I'll marry thee
And there I'll marry thee"
[Verse 4]
She's gone into her father's coffer
Whеre all of his monies lay
She's took thе yeller and left the white
And lightly skipped away
And lightly skipped away
False Sir John a-wooing came
To a lady young and fair
May Colvin was this lady's name
And her father's only heir
Her father's only heir
[Verse 2]
He wooed her while she spun the thread
And while they made the hay
Until he gained her low consent
To mount and ride away
To mount and ride away
[Verse 3]
"It's bring-a me some of your father's gold
And some of your mother's fee
I'll take thee to some far-off land
And there I'll marry thee
And there I'll marry thee"
[Verse 4]
She's gone into her father's coffer
Whеre all of his monies lay
She's took thе yeller and left the white
And lightly skipped away
And lightly skipped away
