Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFG HIHIJKL EMEMNOK PQPQRMN| Oh see how thick the goldcup flowers | A |
| Are lying in field and lane | B |
| With dandelions to tell the hours | A |
| That never are told again | C |
| Oh may I squire you round the meads | D |
| And pick you posies gay | E |
| 'Twill do no harm to take my arm | F |
| 'You may young man you may ' | G |
| - | |
| Ah spring was sent for lass and lad | H |
| 'Tis now the blood runs gold | I |
| And man and maid had best be glad | H |
| Before the world is old | I |
| What flowers to day may flower to morrow | J |
| But never as good as new | K |
| Suppose I wound my arm right round | L |
| ''Tis true young man 'tis true ' | - |
| - | |
| Some lads there are 'tis shame to say | E |
| That only court to thieve | M |
| And once they bear the bloom away | E |
| 'Tis little enough they leave | M |
| Then keep your heart for men like me | N |
| And safe from trustless chaps | O |
| My love is true and all for you | K |
| 'Perhaps young man perhaps ' | - |
| - | |
| Oh look in my eyes then can you doubt | P |
| Why 'tis a mile from town | Q |
| How green the grass is all about | P |
| We might as well sit down | Q |
| Ah life what is it but a flower | R |
| Why must true lovers sigh | M |
| Be kind have pity my own my pretty | N |
| 'Good bye young man good bye ' | - |
