Mr. Song Blluds

I'll come to thee at even tide
When the west is streaked wi grey
I'll wish the night thy charms to hide
& daylight all away
I'll come to thee at set o' sun
Where white thorns i' the May
I'll come to thee when work is done
& love thee till the day.

When Daisey stars are all turned green
& all is meadow grass
I'll wander down the bank at e'en
& court the bonny Lass
The green banks & the rustleing sedge
I'll wander down at e'en
All slopeing to the waters edge
& in the water green

& theres the luscious meadow sweet
Beside the meadow drain
My lassie there I once did meet
Who I wish to meet again
The water lilies where in flower
The yellow & the white
I met her there at even's hour
& stood for half the night.

We stood & loved in that green place
When sundays sun got low
Its beams reflected in her face
The fairest thing below
My sweet Ann Foot my bonny Ann
The Meadow banks are green
Meet me at even when you can
Be mine as you have been.
