With a hey ho, come and kiss me, Dolly!
So get ye forth where dun deer play-- Hey ho, Dolly comes again! The greenwood is the place for me, For that is where the dun deer be, And who would stay at home, That might with Dolly roam? Sing hey ho, come and kiss me, Dolly! LIFE'S SWEET WAGES Who would lie down and close his eyes While yet the lark sings o'er the dale? Who would to Love make no replies, Nor drink the nut-brown ale, While throbs the pulse, and full's the purse And all the world's for sale? Though wintry blasts may prove unkind, When winter's past we do forget; Love's breast in summer-time is kind, And all's well while life's with us yet. Hey ho, now the lark is mating-- Life's sweet wages are in waiting! |
