One Misty Moisty Morning歌词

One misty moisty morning, when cloudy was the weather,
I met with an old man a-clothed all in leather,
He was clothed all in leather with a cap beneath his chin, singin':"How d' you do and how d' you do and how d' you do again"This rustic was a treasure as on his way he hide
And with a leather bottle fast buckled by his side
He wore no shirt upon his back with wool unto his skin, singin':
I went a little further and there I met a maid
Oh are you goin' a-milking? Milkin's o'er she said
Then I began to compliment and she began to sing, sayin':
This maid, her name was Dolly, clothed in a gown of grey
I being somewhat jolly, persuaded her to stay
And straight I fell a-courting her in hopes her love to win, singin':
I having time and leisure, I spent a vacant hour
A-telling of my treasure while sitting in the bower
And then in kind embraces I stroked her double chin, singin':
I said that I would married be and she would be my bride
And along we should not tarry, and twenty things beside
I'll plough and sow and reap and mow and you shall sit and spin, singin':
Her parents then consented, all parties were agreed
Her portion thirty shillings, we married were with speed
Then Will, the piper, he did play, while others dance and sing, sayin':
Then lusty rovin' robin with many damsels gay
To drive and roam to dawning to celebrate the day
And when they met together, their caps they oft-did fling, sayin':
