lyrics

O wake o wake, 'tis almost day
O wake you drowsy sleeper
O you have stole my heart away
O wake you cruel creature

O hush o hush, make not a sound,
Or you will wake my mother
No songs of love she'll let me hear
So go and court another

Just there she lies, in natural rest
And swears she'll kill my lover
She has a dagger in her hand
I beg you not a whisper

I pray you leave, and spend your days
All in some lonesome valley
I pray you neither sing nor speak
Until i can be with you
