| Away I slink the maid to meet | G |

| Resolved to go astray | F |

| Right well my heart goes pit a pat | J |
| With every note I blow | I |

| My senses swim my sight grows dim | U |
| A near more near her tread | O |
| Her little feet a hornpipe beat | G |
| Or isn't my heart instead | O |

| Ah am I moving on my feet | G |
| Or am I on my head | O |
| Do airy dreams my senses cheat | G |
| Am I alive or dead | O |
| - | |
| Not dead away that notion nay | F |
| Not in a dream I move | V |
| Lo in the clear bright pool I hear | N |
| I see my own dear love | W |
| - | |
| She nears appears a blink uprears | R |
| My head O joy ah see | R |
| Till night's o'erhead locked hand in hand | X |
| Stand I and Rosa Rea | F |
