Down deary down
  There was a knight
  and he was young a-riding
  along the way Sir
  And there he met a lady fair
  among the stacks of hay Sir
  Down deary down
  
  Quote he shall you and I,
  Lady among the grass lay down, oh
  And I will take a special care
  of the rumpling of your gown oh
  So she told him
  If you will go along with me
  into my father's hall Sir
  You shall enjoy my maiden's head
  and my estate and all Sir
  Down deary down
  
  So he mounted her on a milk
  white steed himself upon another
  And then they rid upon the road
  like sister and like brother
  Down deary down down deary down
  And when they came to father's home
  all moulded all about Sir
  She stepped straight within the gate
  and shut the young man out Sir
  Down deary down
  
  Here is a pursue of gold she said
  take it for your pain Sir
  And I will send my father's men
  to go home with you again Sir
  And if you meet a lady fair
  as you go by the town Sir
  You must not fear the dewy grass or
  The rumpling grass of her gown Sir
  Down deary down down deary down
  
  And if you meet a lady gay
  as you go by the hill Sir
  Here is the moral of the story
  If you will not when you may
  you shall not when you will Sir
