Oh! come my love, the moon shines bright,
Across yon rippling sea,
Come let thy heart be gay and light,
And hasten love wi’ me.
’Tis mony a night sin’ first we met
Beneath the greenwood tree,
Then let thy heart be lighter yet,
Come, gang awa’ wi’ me.
’Tis mony a night sin’ first we met,
Beneath the greenwood tree,
Then let thy heart be lighter yet,
Come gang awa’ wi’ me.
Oh! tarry not, my only love,
I’ve pledged myself to thee,
And by yon stars that shine above,
Forever thine I’ll be;
’Tis mony a night sin’ first we met
Beneath the greenwood tree,
Then say, ere yonder stars have set,
Thou’lt gang awa’ wi’ me.
’Tis mony a night sin’ first we met
Beneath the greenwood tree,
Then say ere yonder stars have set,
Thou’lt gang awa’ wi’ me.
Thy features are so fair my love,
Thy mind is ever free,
Oh! let thy willing heart still prove
The love thou bear’st to me.
’Tis mony a night sin’ first we met
Beneath the greenwood tree,
Then say ere yonder stars have set,
I’ll gang awa’ wi’ ye.
’Tis mony a night sin’ first we met,
Beneath the greenwood tree.
Then say, ere yonder stars have set,
I’ll gang awa’ wi’ ye.
