Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEE FBFBGDGDEE HBHBIDIDEE| HE I know a youth who loves a little maid | A |
| Hey but his face is a sight for to see | B |
| Silent is he for he's modest and afraid | A |
| Hey but he's timid as a youth can be | B |
| SHE I know a maid who loves a gallant youth | C |
| Hey but she sickens as the days go by | D |
| SHE cannot tell him all the sad sad truth | C |
| Hey but I think that little maid will die | D |
| BOTH Now tell me pray and tell me true | E |
| What in the world should the poor soul do | E |

| HE He cannot eat and he cannot sleep | F |
| Hey but his face is a sight for to see | B |
| Daily he goes for to wail for to weep | F |
| Hey but he's wretched as a youth can be | B |
| SHE She's very thin and she's very pale | G |
| Hey but she sickens as the days go by | D |

| SHE If I were the youth I should offer her my name | H |
| Hey but her face is a sight for to see | B |
| HE If I were the maid I should fan his honest flame | H |
| Hey but he's bashful as a youth can be | B |
| SHE If I were the youth I should speak to her to day | I |
| Hey but she sickens as the days go by | D |
| HE If I were the maid I should meet the lad half way | I |
| For I really do believe that timid youth will die | D |
| BOTH I thank you much for your counsel true | E |
| I've learnt what that poor soul ought to do | E |
