AN you make me a cambric shirt,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and

thyme,
Without any seam or needle

work? And you shall be a true lover

of mine.
Can you wash it in yonder well,

Parsley, etc.
Where never sprung water, nor

rain ever fell ?
And you, etc.
Can you dry it on yonder thorn,

Parsley, etc.
Which never bore blossom since

Adam was born ?

And you, etc, Now you have ask'd me questions three,

Parsley, etc. I hope you'll answer as many for me,

And you, etc.

Can you find me an acre of land,

Parsley, etc. Between the salt water and the sea

sand ? And you, etc. Can you plough it with a ram's horn,

Parsley, etc. And sow it all over with one pepper

corn ? And you, etc. Can you reap it with a sickle of leather,

Parsley, etc. And bind it up with a peacock’s feather?

And you, etc.

When you have done and finished your

work, Parsley, etc. Then come to me for your cambric

shirt,
And you, etc.

And don't know what to do.

Bleak in the morning early ; All the hills are covered with

snow, And winter's now come fairly.

Sit by the fire and spin ;
Take a cup, and drink it up,

Then call your neighbours in.

A gown of silk and a silver tee, If thou wilt let down thy milk to me."
