- As I roved out one morning in Spring
Every rose grows merry in time,
I met a fair maid and she bleaching
her clothes
And she said she would be a true lover of mine.

If you be a true lover of mine
Every rose grows merry in time,
You must get my shirt made without

And then you will be a true lover of mine

Every rose grows merry in time,
Where a drop never ran nor never

And then you will be a true lover of mine(continues on next page)- Collector
