If he might go and play at ball

It's time that you were gone

But don't let me hear any mischief

At night when you come home

So it's up the hill and it's down the hill

Our sweet young saviour run

Until he met three rich young lords

Good morning to each one

And which one of you three rich young lords

Will play at the ball with me

Born in a bower and hall

And you are nought but a poor maid's child

So he made a bridge of beams of the sun

And over the river ran he

Crying mary mild fetch home her child

For ours he's drowned each one

And laid him across her knee

And the withy shall be the very first tree
