- Twas on a summer’s holiday
To Yorkshire I did go
To spend a little holiday
With one wee girl I know,
And as sure as I’m a sinner
This girl I mean to win
And marry her next summer
And then we shall have fun.IIThe summer sun was glowing,
The farmers’ men were mowing,
The river gently flowing,
And it filled our hearts with glee,
The birds their notes were swelling,
I to her my love was telling,
And we seated ‘neath the branches
Of the old Oak Tree.IIIThe good old man, the farmer,
He said that he would rather
I’d marry his young daughter
And take her for my own;
In his farm there’s forty acres,
It grows flowers, fruit, and potatoes,
But she’s the fairest flower(continues on next page)- Collector
