Pretty Maid - Clannad

Pretty Maid - Clannad
It was on a fine summer's morning
The birds sweetly tune on each bough
And as i walked out for my pleasure
I saw a maid milking a cow
Her voice was so enchanting melodious
Left me quite unable to go
My heart it was loaded with sorrow
For the pretty maid milking her cow
Then to her i made my advances
Good morrow most beautiful maid
Your beauty my heart so entrances
Pray sir do not banter she said
I'm not such a rare precious jewel
That i should enamour you so
I am but a poor little milk girl
Says the pretty maid milking her cow
The indies afford no such jewel
So bright so transparently clear
I do not add things to my funeral
Consent but to know me my dear
Oh had i the lamp of aladdin
Or the wealth that gold mines can bestow
I'd rather be poor in a cottage
With the pretty girl milking her cow
