’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,
