- All The Pretty Little Horses
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy you little baby.
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.
Blacks and bays, dapples and greys,
Go to sleepy you little baby,
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
- Hey, Ho, the Wind and the Rain
When that I was and a little tiny boy,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
A foolish thing was but a toy,
For the rain it raineth every day.
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
For the rain it raineth every day.
But when I came to man’s estate,
- How should I your true love know
How should I your true love know
From another one?
By his cockle hat and staff
And his sandal shoon.
He is dead and gone, lady,
He is dead and gone;
At his head a grass-green turf
- The Lover's Ghost
I must be going, no longer staying
The burning Thames I have to cross
Oh, I must be guided without a stumble
Into the arms of my dear lass
When he came to his true love's window
He knelt down gently on a stone
And it's through a pane he whispered slowly
- The Miller of the Dee
There dwelt a miller, hale and bold, beside the river Dee;
He danced and sang from morn till night, no lark so blithe as he;
And this the burden of his song forever used to be: -
"I care for nobody, no not I, if nobody cares for me.
"I live by my mill, God bless her! she's kindred, child, and wife;
I would not change my station for any other in life;
No lawyer, surgeon, or doctor e'er had a groat from me;
- We be soldiers three, madrigal
We be soldiers three,
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie,
Lately come forth of the low country,
With never a penny of money.
Here, good fellow, I drink to thee,
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie
To all good fellows wherever they be,
