O come all ye maids who live at a distance
Many's a mile from off your sway
Come and a**ist me this very moment
For to pa** away some time
Singing sweetly and completely
Songs of pleasure and of love
For me heart is with him altogether
Though i live not where i love
When i sleep i dream about you
When i wake i take no rest
Every moment thinking on you
My heart o'er fixed in your breast
But although far distance
May be of a**istance
If from my mind your love remove
For me heart is with him altogether
Though i live not where i love
All the world shall be of one religion
All living things shall cease to die
If ever i should prove false to my j**el
Or any way his love deny
Oh the world shall change
And be most strange
If from my mind your love remove
For me heart is with him altogether
Though i live not where i love
So farewell lad and farewell la**ies
Now i think i've made my choice
I will away to yonder mountain
Where i think i hear his voice
And if he hollows i will follow
Around the world though it is so wide
For young thomas he did promise
I should be his lawful bride
Repeat first verse.
