The Sprig of Thyme: 1. the Bold Grenadier
As I was a-walking one morning in May,
I spied a young couple a-making of hay.
O one was a fair maid and her beauty shone clear,
And the other was a soldier, a bold grennadier.
'Good morning, good morning, good morning,' said he,
'O where are you going, my pretty lady?'
'I'm going a-walking by the clear crystal stream,
To see cool waters glide and hear nightingales sing.'
'O soldier, O soldier, will you marry me?'

'Oh, no my sweet lady, that never can be:
For I've got a wife at home in my own country;
Two wives and the army's too many for me.'
As I was a-walking one morning in May,
I spied a young couple a-making of hay.
O one was a fair maid and her beauty shone clear,
And the other was a soldier, a bold grennadier.
