<poem> | |||
On a fair, a fair morning, | |||
as I came by the way, | |||
met I with a merry merry maid, | |||
in the merry month of May. | |||
When a sweet love sings his lovely lay, | |||
And every bird upon the bush bechirps it up so gay, | |||
with an heave and ho, | |||
thy wife will be thy master I trow: | |||
Sing care away, let the world go, | |||
Hey lustily, all in a row: | |||
Sing care away, let the world go. | |||

On a fair, a fair morning,
as I came by the way,
met I with a merry merry maid,
in the merry month of May.
When a sweet love sings his lovely lay,
And every bird upon the bush bechirps it up so gay,
with an heave and ho,
thy wife will be thy master I trow:
Sing care away, let the world go,
Hey lustily, all in a row:
Sing care away, let the world go.
