As I walked out one May morning 

5  -4  -4   5  6 -6
Down by the riverside,

I cast my eyes around me

And an Irish girl I spied.


Her cheeks were sad and rosy
And coal black was her hair.
How costly were the jewels 
That Irish girl did wear.

As I walked out that May morning
My true love passing py,
I knew her mind was changing
By the movement of her eyes.

Oh, don't you now remember, love,
When you gave me your right hand,
You vowed if you got married,
That I should be the man?

I wish I were a butterly, 
I'd fly to my love's nest.
I wish I were a linnet,
I'd sing my love to rest.

I wish I were a nightengale,
Id sing to the morning clear.
I'll hold you in my arms, my love,
The girl I love so dear.
