It was on a fine October morn
In April last July
The moon lay thick upon the ground
And the snow shone in the sky
2
The flowers were sweetly singing
And birds were in full bloom
When I went down the cellar
To wash the upstairs room
3
It was on a Monday morning
On Wednesday just at night
I saw then thousand miles away
A house just out of sight
4
The doors they were backwards
And the front was at the back
I stood alone between the moores
And it was whitewashed black
