Alling loudly there she did knock and call
I hear you want to serve and she said

Betsy's heart he won
But
Betsy being both blind and fair,

This poor boy's heart she didn't snare.

Sunday evening he took his time,

Betsy he told his mind.
He swore by oats,
he swore by stars above,
Did you sweet

Betsy, the serving man?
Dm

Oh son, oh son, oh son,
said she,

If I could see my son rise again,
