Joseph Hathaway, Charles Kingsley       Down deary down   There was a knight and he was young a-riding along the way Sir   And there he met a lady fair among the stacks of hay Sir   Down deary down      Quote he shall you and I, Lady among the grass lay down oh   And I will take a special care of the rumpling of your gown oh   So she told him   If you will go along with me into my father's hall Sir   You shall enjoy my maiden's head and my estate and all Sir   Down deary down      So he mounted her on a milk white steed himself upon another   And then they rid upon the road like sister and like brother   Down deary down down deary down   And when they came to father's home all moulded all about Sir   She stepped straight within the gate and shut the young man out Sir   Down deary down      Here is a pursue of gold she said take it for your pain Sir   And I will send my father's men to go home with you again Sir   And if you meet a lady fair as you go by the town Sir   You must not fear the dewy grass or   The rumpling grass of her gown Sir   Down deary down down deary down      And if you meet a lady gay as you go by the hill Sir   Here is the moral of the story   If you will not when you may you shall not when you will Sir
