| Come out and hear the waters shoot the owlet hoot the owlet hoot | C |
| Yon crescent moon a golden boat hangs dim behind the tree O | D |
| The dropping thorn makes white the grass O sweetest lass and sweetest lass | E |
| Come out and smell the ricks of hay adown the croft with me O | D |

| My granny nods before her wheel and drops her reel and drops her reel | F |
| My father with his crony talks as gay as gay can be O | D |
| But all the milk is yet to skim ere light wax dim ere light wax dim | G |
| How can I step adown the croft my 'prentice lad with thee O | D |

| And must ye bide yet waiting's long and love is strong and love is strong | H |
| And O had I but served the time that takes so long to flee O | D |
| And thou my lass by morning's light wast all in white wast all in white | I |
| And parson stood within the rails a marrying me and thee O | D |
