English text

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.
