Lay still my fond shepherd and don't you rise yet, it's a fine dewy morning and besides, my love, it is wet

Oh let it be wet my love and ever so cold, I will rise my fond Floro and away to my fold

Oh The Lark In The Morning she rises from her nest and she mounts in the air with the dew on her breast

And like the pretty ploughboy she'll whistle and sing, and at night she will return to her own nest again
