The Green Mossy Banks of the Lea
The Green Mossy Banks of the Lea (2)
One morning I met my Matilda
Gone out for to view those fields,
She was dressed in the highest of fashion
And she wore in her hair a red rose.
I stepped up and sat down beside her,
Her cheeks they did blush like a rose,
Saying, "fair maid, while the meadows are charming
Your guider I'll be if you choose."
"Kind sir, I don't need any guider
Young man, you're a stranger to me,
Look yonder, my father is coming
O'er the green mossy banks of the Lea."
I waited till up came her father
To hear what his answer might be,
Saying, "Kind sir, if this be your daughter
She's the charming sweet lass I adore."
"Five thousand a year is my portion
And a lady your daughter will be,
She can ride in her coach every morning
O'er the green mossy banks of the Lea."
