Come all you lads and lasses and listen to me a while

And I'm sing for you a verse or two

Twill 'cause you all to smile

It's all about a fell young man

I'm going to tell you now

Oh you lately came a-courting number with

The maid of the sweet brown knowe

Said he my pretty fair maid

If you come along with me

We are both go after togeter

Banns and married we will be

We will join our hands in wedlock

Banns by meeting to you now

And I'll do my best endeavours for

The maid of the sweet brown knowe

This fell and fickle young thing

She knew not what to say

Her eyes they shone like silver bright

And merrily did play

She said young man you love so due

For I'm not ready now

And I'll spend another season at

The foot of the sweet brown knowe

Says he my pretty fair maid oh can you answer say

Look down in yonder valley where my verdant crops do grow

Look down in yonder valley at my horses and my plough

Oh answer their daily labour for

The maid of the sweet brown knowe

If they're at their daily labour kind sir it's not for me

I've heard of your behaviour I have kind sir said she

There is an inn where you call in I hear the people say

Where you rap and call and pay for all

And go home at the break of day

If I rap and call and pay for all the money it is my own

And I'll never spend your fortune for

I hear you have got none

You thought you had my poor heart

Broken talking with me now

But I'll leave you where I found you at

The foot of the sweet brown knowe
