    (continued from previous page)
    No stocking cap nor cloak,
    But her hair like shining silver bright,
    Hangs oe'r her shoulders bare
    A milking pail all in her hand,
    So beautiful and gay
    This damsel bright did me delight
    By the dawning of the day

    (III)
    "This is my own fair girl" I said,
    "Where are you going so soon?"
    "I am going milking Sir" she said,
    All in the month of June
    "My passage grown, to where I'm going,
    It is so far away,
    That I must be there,
    Each morning fair,
    By the dawning of the day.

    From my father I got this song who is forty four years
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
