The Stone

Rising early out of bed
 Across the fields I steered O,
 When O and I a woman I spied
 And a pretty fair maid appeared O.
 Her head was bare I do declare
 She had neither hat nor feather on,
 And she stooped so low gave me to know
 It was mushrooms she was gathering O.
 O gathering O, and she stooped so low gave me to know
 It was mushrooms she was gathering O.
 Where are you going says I my dear
 Why are you up so early O,
 I've seen you on the dewy grass
 Before the sower Ferdio.
 Quite modestly she answered me
 And she gave her head one fetch up,
 And she said I am gathering mushrooms
 To make my Mammy ketchup O.
 O ketchup O, and she said I am gathering mushroom
 To make my Mammy ketchup O.
 Her parting breast on mine she pressed
 Her heart was like a feather O,
 And her lips on mine do gentle join
 And we both sat down together O.
 Together O, and her lips on mine do gentle join
 And we both sat down together O.
