The Bird in the Bush

歌詞

Three maidens a-milking did go ???? And the wind it did blow high and the wind it did blow low And it waved their petticoats to and fro They met with some young man they know ???? And they asked of him if he had any skill For to catch them a small bird or two Oh yes I've a very good skill ???? So it's come along with me to the yonder flowering tree And I'll catch you a small bird or two So away to the greenwoods went they ???? And he tapped at the bush and the bird it did fly in Just a little above her lily-white knee Then her sparkling eyes they did turn round Just as if she had been in a swoon And she cried "Oh, I've a bird and a very pretty bird And he's pecking away at his own ground" Here's a health to the bird in the bush ???? And we'll drink down the moon, and we'll drink up the sun Let the neighbours say little or much
