Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDBC EEBC FFBC DGEE HIBC

Come all ye lads and lassies and listen to me a whileA
And I'll sing for you a verse or two will cause you all to smileA
It's all about a young man and I'm going to tell you nowB
How he lately came a courting of the Maid of the Sweet Brown KnoweC
-
Said he My pretty fair maid will you come along with meD
We'll both go off together and married we will beD
We'll join our hands in wedlock bands I'm speaking to you nowB
And I'll do my best endeavour for the Maid of the Sweet Brown KnoweC
-
This fair and fickle young thing she knew not what to sayE
Her eyes did shine like silver bright and merrily did playE
She said Young man your love subdue for I am not ready nowB
And I'll spend another season at the foot of the Sweet Brown KnoweC
-
Said he My pretty fair maid how can you say soF
Look down in yonder valley where my crops do gently growF
Look down in yonder valley where my horses and my ploughB
Are at their daily labour for the Maid of the Sweet Brown KnoweC
-
If they're at their daily labour kind sir it's not for meD
For I've heard of your behaviour I have indeed she saidG
There is an Inn where you call in I have heard the people sayE
Where you rap and call and pay for all and go home at the break of dayE
-
If I rap and call and pay for all the money is all my ownH
And I'll never spend your fortune for I hear you have got noneI
You thought you had my poor heart broke in talking with me nowB
But I'll leave you where I found you at the foot of the Sweet Brown KnoweC
