| It was down in the wild flowers among brakes and brambles | E |
| I met the sweet maiden so dear to my eye | G |
| In one of my Sunday morn midsummer rambles | E |
| Among the sweet wild blossoms blooming close by | G |
| Her hair it was coal black | H |
| Hung loose down her back | H |
| In her hand she held posies | E |
| Of blooming primroses | E |
| The maiden who passed on the morning of love | D |

| Coal black was her silk hair that shaded white shoulders | E |
| Ruby red were her ripe lips her cheeks of soft hue | I |
| Her sweet smiles enchanting the eyes of beholders | E |
| Thrilled my heart as she rambled the wild blossoms through | I |
| Like the pearl her bright eye | G |
| In trembling delight I | G |
| Kissed her cheek like a rose | E |
| In its gentlest repose | E |
| O there's nothing so sweet as the maiden I love | D |
