| On the mountain's brow | B |

| Comes my Mary gaily singing | A |
| Bringing home the cows | C |

| While the cattle browse | C |
| Earnestly together talking | A |
| Plighting lovers' vows | C |
| Where the daisies are a springing | A |
| Wedding bells will soon be ringing | A |
| Then we'll watch our servant bringing | A |
| Mine and Mary's cows | C |
