Although I am a country lass,

A lofty mind I bear-a,

I think myself as good as those

That gay apparel wear-a.

My coat is made of homely gray,

Yet is my skin as soft-a

As those that with the chiefest wines

Do bathe their bodies oft-a.

Down, down, derry, derry down;

Heigh, downa, downa, downa;
