The summer is ended, the harvest is gone,

I’ve mowed all my meadows, I’ve housed all my corn;

And sweet Katie’s cottage stood fair to my view,

And so I went a courting, I’d nothing else to do.

Nothing else to do,

And so I went a courting,

For I’d nothing else to do.

I met my sweet Katie, and down we did sit,
