[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] Once there was a shepherd that kept sheep upon the hill
And his lady's pipe in his crooked side And there he slept as fell
He woke up on a riverbank on a fine May morning
There he spied a lady swimming in the clothes that she was born in
So he raised his head from his green bed and he approached the maid
Put on your clays my dear he says and do not be afraid
It's fitter for a lady fair to sow [Bb] than to [Eb] rise on a fine May morning
And swim against the stream
[Ab] [Eb] Well if you will not touch my mantle and you leave my clays in vain
And I'll give you [Ab] all the [Eb] money sir that you can carry
Hey I'll [Ab] not touch your mantle [Eb] and I'll leave your [Bb] clays in vain
But I'll tack you out of the [Eb] clear water my dear to be my aim
[Ab] [Eb] And he's taken a root of the clear water and he's round her in his arms
Put on your clays my dear he says and hide your bounteous charms
He's put her on a milk white [F] steed himself [Bb] upon another
[Eb] And it's all along the way they rode like sister [Ab] and like brother

[Eb] She rode into her favour's gate and she's turtled at the [Bb] pin
[Eb] And ready stood a porter there to let the fair maiden
Well the gates were opened it's all nimble she stepped in
She said King Stan you are a fool about and I'm a maid of sin
So fair you be oh my modest boy I thank you for your care
But had you [Ab] done as you [Eb] desired I'd never have left you there
I will sow no [F] silken seam on a [Bb] fine May morning
You can bide your [Eb] time till your time runs out so take this as fair warning
I will sow no [F] silken seam on a [Bb] fine May morning
[Eb] You can bide your time till your time runs out so take this as fair warning
