The pretty maid milkin’ her cow
English source:
Folksong
It was early one fine summer's mornin'
When the birds sat and sung odden each bough，
I heard a young damsel thus singin'，
Thedden as she sat milkin' her cow.
She sang with a voice so melodious，
Which made me scarce able to go，
For my heart it ė was ė smothered with sorrow，
By the pretty maid milkin' her cow.
When the birds sat and sung odden each bough，
I heard a young damsel thus singin'，
Thedden as she sat milkin' her cow.
She sang with a voice so melodious，
Which made me scarce able to go，
For my heart it ė was ė smothered with sorrow，
By the pretty maid milkin' her cow.
