Returning from the fair one eve 
'Twas the morning of May, and the yellow hair'd god 
Fair Caroline was once my love 
In Martindale, a village gay 
On a rural village green  6-7 
Drifted snow is no longer seen  8-9 
Sailor's life's a life of woe, A  9-10 
Ye gents, give ear to me, I pray  11-12 
One summer's eve, when Luna's beam  12-13 
As though the grove, the other day  13-14 
Hark! hark the lark at Heav'n's gate sings  14 
See beneath yon bow'r of roses  15 
Gentle swan, with graceful pride, The  15-16 
Linnet's nest, with anxious care, A  16-17 
Lord, what care I for mam or dad?  17-18 
Young Willy woo'd me long in vain  18 
Her mouth with a smile  18-19 
'Twas in the flow'ry month of May  19-20 
Morning smil'd serenely gay, The  20-21 
Gad-a-mercy! devil's in me  21-22 
Sun sets in night, and the stars shun the day, The  22-24 
What's a valiant hero?  24-25 
When the fancy stirring bowl  25-26 
At the sound of the horn  26-27 
Bold chanticleer claims the dawn  28 
I'm jolly Dick the lamplighter  28-29 
Wand'ring sailor ploughs the main, The  29-30 
When Yanko dear fight far away  30 
Poor Orra tink of Yanko dear  31 
Rise, Cynthia, rise; the ruddy morn  31 
What a charming thing's a battle!  32 
Stand to your guns, my hearts of oak  32-33 
Say, little foolish flutt'ring thing  33 
Mon cher ami, ami tres cher  33-34 
For me my fair a wreath has wove  34 
How sweet the rosy blush of morn  35 
Night and day the anxious lover  35-36 
Sun shone pale on the mountain snow, The  36 
Bring me flow'rs, and bring me wine  37 
Somehow my spindle I mislaid  37-38 
When Fanny I saw, as she tripp'd o'er the green  38 
While Strephon thus you tease me  38-39 
As o'er the mead I pass'd along  39-40 
Moon had climb'd the highest hill, The  40-41 
Scarlet coat and smart cockade, A  41-42 
Ladies cannot but approve, The  42 
Arouze, and break the bands of sleep  43 
To horse, ye jolly sportsmen  43-44  10 
Wou'd you know, my good friends,  45-46 
This, this, my lad, is a soldier's life  46 
Come, ladies, and list to my song  47 
With my jug in one hand, and my pipe in the other  47-48 
Sweet Poll of Plymouth was my dear  48 
Gallants attend, and hear a friend  49-52  22 
How stands the glass around?  52 
See the conquering hero comes  53 
Come, now, all ye social pow'rs  53-54 
Busy, curious, thirsty fly  54 
Banish sorrow, grief and folly  54-55 
Here's to the maid of bashful fifteen  55-56 
Jolly mortals fill your glasses  56 
Ye sportsmen draw near, and ye sportswoment also  56-57 
Echoing horn calls the sportsmen abroad, The  57-58 
Dusky night rides down the sky, The  58-59 
Smiling morn, the breathing spring, The  59-60 
Shepherds, I have lost my love  60-61 
Once more I'll tune the vocal shell  61-62 
As bringing home the other day  62-63 
  63   
Come live with me, and be my love  63 
'Twas on the morn of sweet May day  64-65 
When war's alarms entic'd my Willy from me  65-66 
O the days when I was young  66 
How imperfect is expression  67 
When Delia on the plains appears  67-68 
As passing by a shady grove  68-69 
Was I a shepherd's maid, to keep  69 
As my cow I was milking just now in the vale  69-70 
Believe my sighs, my tears, my dear  70 
'Twas near a thicket's calm retreat  71 
Stream that glides in mumurs by, The  71-72 
Jetty locks, that careless break, The  73 
Love's a pure, a sacred fire  73 
As Jockey sat down by Jenny one day  73-74 
Morn was fair, the month was May, The  74-75 
Young Lubin was a shepherd boy  75-76 
Fair Kitty, beautiful and young  76-77 
Away, to the copse, away  77-78 
Hark, away! 'tis the merry-ton'd horn  78-79 
By moon-light on the green  79-80 
Come chase all your pother, about this or that  80-82  10 
Now the spring her sweets discloses  82-83 
Lass of Patie's mill, The  83-84 
When the sheep are in the fauld, and the ky at hame  84-85 
Summer it was smiling, all nature round was gay, The  85-87 
It was upon a Lammas night  87-88 
Where new-mown hay, on winding Tay  88-89 
When trees did bud and fields were green  89-90 
Down the burn, and thro' the mead  90-91 
Lowland lads think they are fine, The  91 
My daddie O was very good  91-92 
As Jockey sat beneath a shade  92-93 
It was summer, so softly the breezes were blowing  94 
Blest as the immortal gods is he  95 
Too plain, dear youth, these tell-tale eyes  95-96 
'Twas in that season of the year  96-97 
Topsails shiver in the wind, The  97-98 
Assist me, ye lads who have hearts void of guile  98-99 
Fields were green, the hills were gay, The  99
