Oh it's of a young squire in tamworth we hear   And he courted a nobleman's daughter so fair   For to marry her it was his intent   And the friends and relations had given their consent      Now a date was appointed for their wedding day   And the farmer he was appointed to give her away   But as soon as the lady this farmer did spy   Her heart was inflamed and bitterly she did cry      And she turned from the squire but nothing she said   But instead of getting married she took to her bed   And the thoughts of the farmer so ran in her mind   A way for to have him she quickly did find      Coat waistcoat and trousers the young girl put on   And away she went a-hunting with her dog and her gun   And she hunted around where the farmer he did dwell   Because in her heart oh she loved him so well      And she oftentimes fired but nothing she killed   Until this young farmer came into the field   And to talk with him it was her intent   With her dog and her gun then to meet him she went      Oh I thought you would be at the wedding she cried   To wait on the squire and to give him his bride   Oh no said the farmer I'll take a sword in my hand   By honor I'd gain her whenever she command      And the lady was pleased when she heard him so bold   And she gave him a glove that was made out of gold   And she told him that she found it (as? ) she was coming along   As she went out a-hunting with her dog and her gun      And this lady went home with a heart full of love   And she gave out a notice that she'd lost her glove   And whoever found it and he brings it to me   Whoever he is then my husband shall be      The farmer he was pleased when he heard of the news   And with a heart full of love to the lady he goes   Oh lady oh lady I've picked up your glove   And I hope that you'll be pleased for to grant me some love      Oh it's already granted (and? ) I will be your bride   For I love the sweet breath of the farmer she cried   I'll be mistress of your dairy and I'll milk all your cows   While me jolly old farmer goes whistling on his plow      And it's when they got married and they told of the fun   How she'd gone out a-hunting with her dog and her gun
