| Shouting in tireless glee | D |
| Here here is my nest See see | D |

| Green gravel Green gravel | C |
| The grass is so green | L |
| The fairest young maiden that ever was seen | L |
| Oh Mary oh Mary your true love is dead | M |
| He's sent you a green bough | N |
| To tie round your head | M |
