[Verse 1]
A maiden walkin' in her garden
But her name I do not know
I'll go court her for her beauty
Let the answer be yas or no
Madam, madam, I'll come a courting
That your favor I may gain
Sit you down you're kindly welcome
Then perhaps you may call again
Madam I have gold and silver
Madam I have house and land
Madam, I have a world of pleasure
Leave it all at your command
Don't tell me of your gold and silver
Don't tell me of your house and land
Don't tell me of your [?]
All I want is a handsome man

[Verse 2]
Handsome men are out of fashion
Maiden's beauty soon decays
You'll pick a flowеr for bright summer morning
Before thе evening will fade away
First come [?]
Then the [?]
Then come a new love and then come a true love
Before the evening will fade away
Once I lay on a young man's pillow
Which I thought it was my own
Now I do lay under the willow
All for the sake of a false young man
[Outro]
Before the evening will fade away
