My young Mary do's mind the dairy,
While I go a howing, and mowing each morn; Then hey the little spinning wheel Merrily round do's reel While I am singing amidst the corn: Cream and kisses both are my delight She gives me them, and the joys of night; She's soft as the air, As morning fair, Is not such a maid a most pleasing sight.
