    May she comes and May she goes

    Down the garden green,

    There she spied this sweet young boy,

    Sweetest ever she's seen.

    May she comes and May she goes

    Down the Holland green,

    There she spied this sweet young boy,

    Sweetest ever she's seen.

    \"Give to me your mantle darling,

    Give me your maidenhead;

    If you won't give me your mantle darling,

    Give me your maidenhead.\"

    Ta'en her by her hand, her hand,

    So gently laid her down;

    Soon as she rose up again

    He give her the silver comb.

    \"Oh maybe there will be babies so

    And maybe there will be none,

    But since you are a gentleman

    Oh tell to me your name.\"

    \"No I am no gentleman

    But am newly come from sea;

    No I am no courtier darling

    But well I courted thee.

    Sometimes they call me Jack,\" he said,

    \"And sometimes they call me John.

    But when I'm in my father's house

    It's Randall is my name.\"

    \"Now you lie you false young man,

    So loud you lie to me.

    I am Randall's only daughter

    And he has none but me.\"

    \"Ah you lie, you foolish girl,

    So loud you lie to me.

    I am Randall's only son

    Newly come from the sea.\"

    Oh she reached down below her waist

    And she has pulled out a knife;

    She has let her own heart's blood

    And taken her own sweet life.

    And he's picked up his young sister

    With a big tear in his eye,

    For he has buried his only sister

    Beneath the Holland tree.

    Then it's up the hill and it's down the hill,

    His own father to see,

    Crying, \"Oh and oh for my bonny hind

    Beneath the Holland tree.\"

    \"What care you for your bonny hind,

    For her you need not care.

    We've eight score hinds in yonder park

    And five score is to spare.

    Four score of these are silver shod,

    Of these you may have three.\"

    \"But it's oh and oh for my bonny hind

    Beneath the Holland tree.\"

    \"What care you for your bonny hind,

    For her you need not care.

    Take you the best and leave me the worst,

    For plenty is to spare.\"

    \"Oh I care not for your hinds, father,

    I care not for your fee.

    But it's oh and oh for my bonny hind

    Beneath the Holland tree.\"

    \"Son get you to your sister's bower,

    Your sweet young sister to see.

    You'll think no more of your bonny hind

    Beneath the Holland tree.\"
