"What would ye give to your mother, dear?"
With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay.
"My wedding shift which I do wear,"
As the primrose spreads so sweetly.
"But she must wash it very clean,"
With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay,
"For my heart's blood sticks in every seam,"
As the primrose spreads so sweetly.
"What would ye give to your sister Anne?"
With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay.
