[Verse 1]
DRising early out of bed
Across the fields I Csteered AOF  
When O and DI a wComan I sApied
A pFretty fair Cmaid apApeared DO
Her Dhead was bare I do declare
She had Cneither hat nor Afeather Fon
[Chorus]
And she stopped so low, gave me to know
It was mushrooms she was gathering O
O gathering O
And she stopped so low, gave me to know
It was mushrooms she was gathering O
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Quite modestly she answered me
And she said I am gathering mushrooms
To make my Mammy ketchup O
O ketchup O
And she said I am gathering mushrooms
To make my Mammy ketchup O
[Verse 3]
Her parting breast on mine she pressed
Her heart was like a feather O
[Chorus]
And her lips on mine do gently join
And we both sat down together O
Together O
And her lips on mine do gently join
And we both sat down together O
[Verse 4]
Rising early out of bed
Across the fields I steered O
When O and I a woman I spied
A pretty fair maid appeared O
