For a young man courted me earnestlyIt was with his wishes I did complyIt was his false vows and flattering tongueHe beguiled me love when I was youngIn yon green valley we both went downWhere the pretty small birds come a-whistling 'roundChanging their notes from tree to treeAs the sun arose on yon green valleyAs I sat down by my love's right handHe swore by Heaven, by sea and landThat the rising sun he would never seeIf ever he proved false to meFor eleven long months he proved true and kindBut a short time after he changed his mindHe changed his mind to a high degreeAnd he bade farewell to yon green valleyO hold him fast, don't you let him go,For he his mine, and it's well he knowsDon't you mind of the promise you made to meAs the sun arose on yon green valley?“I mind of the promise I made to youBut I'll have nothing more to do with youMy father's counsel I must obeySo it's goodbye, darling, I must away”O if he's gone, then I wish him wellFor to get married as I hear tellMy innocent babe I will tender careOf his false promise let him bewareO am I married, or am I freeOr am I bound, love, to marry thee?A single life is the best I seeA contented mind bears no slavery
