Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCBB CDBB CCBB EEFF EEBB

Where the pools are bright and deepA
Where the grey trout lies asleepA
Up the river and over the leaB
That 's the way for Billy and meB
-
Where the blackbird sings the latestC
Where the hawthorn blooms the sweetestC
Where the nestlings chirp and fleeB
That 's the way for Billy and meB
-
Where the mowers mow the cleanestC
Where the hay lies thick and greenestD
There to track the homeward beeB
That 's the way for Billy and meB
-
Where the hazel bank is steepestC
Where the shadow falls the deepestC
Where the clustering nuts fall freeB
That 's the way for Billy and meB
-
Why the boys should drive awayE
Little sweet maidens from the playE
Or love to banter and fight so wellF
That 's the thing I never could tellF
-
But this I know I love to playE
Through the meadow among the hayE
Up the water and over the leaB
That 's the way for Billy and meB
