Blow away the morning dew

1
As I went out one May morning
To view the meadows gay
There I met a sweet pretty girl
All [on the] new mown hay

Singing
Hey the dewy morning
Blow the winds heigh ho!
Strolling in the morning dew
How the sweet winds do blow

2
Says she if quick come down t my father's house
In which is walled all round
Then you shall have a kiss from me
And £40,000 pound
Ch.

3
Says she; my father has a cock
[That seldom trends the news]
He flies about and flutters his wings
And I think you're [one ]of them
Ch.

4
So when you're out for a walk
A hundred yards from home
Never mind the squeaks and squalls
Nor the rustle of a muslin gown.
Ch

(The Orange Tree) Down by a river side
Month of May

1
It was on the first of May
When flowers they were gay
And the Orange tree was all in bloom
When the orange, when the orange
When the orange was all in bloom

2
Down by the river side
Then I spied a pretty maid
A lamenting for her own true love
Lamenting, sighing, crying
For her own true love

3
You're a false young man said she
Didn't you promise you'd marry me
When the orange tree was all in bloom
When etc.

4
So now this girl is wed
And her sorrows they are fled
And she's married t her own true love
She is courted, wedded, bedded
By her own true love
