Searching for Lambs

As I walked out one may morning\nOne may morning betime\nI met a maid from home had strayed\nJust as the sun did shine\nWhat makes you rise so soon my dear\nYour journey to pursue?\nYour pretty little feet they tread so neat\nStrike off the morning dew\nI’m going to feed my father’s flock\nHis young and tender lambs\nThat over hills and over dales\nLie waiting for their dams\nStay, oh stay, you handsome maid\nAnd rest a moment here\nFor there is none but you alone\nThat I do love so dear\nHow gloriously the sun doth shine\nHow pleasant is the air\nI’d rather rest on a true love’s breast\nThan any other where\nFor I am thine and thou art mine\nNo man shall uncomfort thee\nAnd we’ll join our hands in wedded bands\nAnd married we shall be
