Searching for Lambs

As I walked out one May morning
One May morning betimes
I met a maid from home had strayed
Just as the sun did shine

What makes you rise so soon my dear
Your journey to pursue
Your pretty little feet they tread so neat
Strike off the morning dew

I'm going to feed my father's flock
His young and tender lambs
That over hill and over dale
Lie waiting for their dams

Oh stay, oh stay you handsome maid
And rest a moment here
For there is none but you alone
That I do love so dear

How gloriously the sun doth shine
How lovely is the air
For I'd rather rest on my true love's breast
Than any other where

For I am thine and thou art mine
No man shall uncomforts me
We'll join our hands in wedded banns
And married we shall be

We'll join our hands in wedded banns
And married we shall be
