clannad - pretty maid, the lyrics
it was on a fine summer’s morning
the birds sweetly tune on each bough
and as i walked out for my pleasure
i saw a maid milking a cow
her voice was so enchanting, melodious
left me quite unable to go
my heart, it was loaded with sorrow
for the pretty maid milking her cow
then to her i made my advances
“good morrow most beautiful maid
your beauty my heart so entrances”
“pray sir do not banter,” she said
“i’m not such a rare precious jewel
that i should enamour you so
i am but a poor little milk girl,”
says the pretty maid milking her cow
the indies afford no such jewel
so bright, so transparently clear
i do not add things to my funeral
consent but to know me my dear
oh, had i the lamp of aladdin
or the wealth that gold mines can bestow
i’d rather be poor in a cottage
with the pretty girl milking her cow.
