lyrics

Lark in the Morning
(Traditional)

Lark in the morning she rises from her nest
And flies up in the air with the dew upon her breast
Like the jolly plough boy she whistles and she sings
And comes home in the evening with the dew upon her breast

Roger the plough boy he is a handsome blade
Whistling and singing over yonder glade
He met with pretty Susan she's handsome I declare
Far more inticing than the birds up in the air.

Lark in the morning she rises from her nest
And flies up in the air with the dew upon her breast
Like the jolly plough boy she whistles and she sings
And comes home in the evening with the dew upon her breast

One evening coming home past the rakes in the town
The meadows were green but the grass cut down
As I should chance to tumble all in the new mown hay
It's kiss me now or never the Bonny lass did say

When twenty long weeks and twenty long days
Her mother chanced to notice She'd thickened round the waist
It was the handsome ploughboy the maiden she did say
He caused me to tumble all in the new mown hay.

Here's health to the ploughboy wherever you may be
Who likes to have a Bonny lass sittin on his knee
Drinking strong porter you'll whistle and you'll sing
A father to the maidens baby you shall be.
