While you lie in slumber   I'll wake up early and I'll go and milk the goats   You stay in bed and play around inside your dreams   You get to be the princess and you wear the cone shaped hat   Dawn and a horse comes, gallops in to take your hand   I am a milkmaid and I'll bring your breakfast in   Soiled skirt and you'll know just where I've been   In the barn, in the hay loft   The best place to   I will pound the flour for wedding cakes   And God will pull the garter off of your wet leg   The waiting by until your day
