There was a lass and a bonnie bonnie lass
To gather nuts they go
She pulled them haigh, she pulled them laigh
She searched them high and low
She searched them high and low

And tired at length, she laid them down
She sleep the weather along
And there thy came, three lusty lads
Three lusty lads and strong
Three lusty lads and strong

The first he kissed her mouth
He thought he did no wrong
The second loos'd untied her belt
Tied up with lazy whang
Tied up with lazy whang

And what the third he did to her
Is not to bring in this song
But the lass wauken'd in a fright
Said: "I fear I slept too lang"
"I fear I slept too lang"
