Now as I was a walking one morning in may

I saw a sweet couple together at play

And the one was a fair maid and her beauty shone clear

And the other was a soldier a brave grenadier

But they kissed so sweet and comforting

As they pressed to each other

They went arming along the road like sister and brother

They went arming along the road till they came to a spring

Then they both sat down together just to hear the nightingale sing

Then out of his knapsack a long fiddle he drew

And he played her such merry tunes as she ever knew

And he played her such merry tunes caused the valleys to ring

Hark hark replied the fair maid how the nightingales sing

But they kissed so sweet and comforting

As they pressed to each other

They went arming along the road like sister and brother

They went arming along the road till they came to a spring

Then they both sat down together just to hear the nightingale sing

Now I'm going to india for seven long years

Drinking wines and strong whiskey instead of strong beers

But if I ever return again it will be in the spring

Then we'll both sit down together love and hear the nightingale sing

But they kissed so sweet and comforting

As they pressed to each other

They went arming along the road like sister and brother

They went arming along the road till they came to a spring

Then they both sat down together just to hear the nightingale sing

Now said the fair maid come soldier marry me

Oh no said the soldier how ever can that be

For I've a nice little wife at home in my own countery

And she is the smartest little woman that your eyes ever see

But they kissed so sweet and comforting

As they pressed to each other

They went arming along the road like sister and brother

They went arming along the road till they came to a spring

Then they both sat down together just to hear the nightingale sing
