| [00:02.10] |
The lark in the morning she rises off her nest |
| [00:05.61] |
She goes off in the air with the dew all on her breast |
| [00:09.84] |
And like the jolly ploughboy she whistles and she sings |
| [00:23.61] |
She goes off in the air with the dew all on her wings |
| [00:36.63] |
Oh Roger the ploughboy he is a dashing blade |
| [00:40.17] |
He goes whistling and singing over yonder leafy shade |
| [00:44.40] |
He met with dark haired Susan, she's handsome I declare |
| [00:48.27] |
And she is far more enticing than the birds up in the |
| [00:51.33] |
Air |
| [00:57.63] |
The lark in the morning... |
| [01:02.97] |
One evening when they're coming from the rakes of the |
| [01:20.67] |
Town |
| [01:21.72] |
The meadows bein' all mown and the grass had been cut |
| [01:24.60] |
Down |
| [01:26.01] |
As she should chance to stumble all on the new mown hay |
| [01:29.01] |
Oh it's kiss me now or never, then this bonnie lass did |
| [01:35.25] |
Say |
| [01:35.49] |
The lark in the morning... |
| [01:49.98] |
When twenty long weeks, they were over and were past |
| [01:53.85] |
Her mammy asked the reason why she thickened round the |
| [01:56.61] |
Waist |
| [01:58.35] |
It was the jolly ploughboy, this bonnie lass did say |
| [02:01.47] |
He caused me for to tumble all on the new mown hay |
| [02:05.28] |
The lark in the morning... |
| [02:07.32] |
Here's a health to you ploughboys wherever you may be |
| [02:08.85] |
That like to have a bonnie lass a-sitting on each knee |
| [02:14.04] |
With a pint of good strong porter, you'll whistle and |
| [02:15.81] |
You'll sing |
| [02:17.67] |
And the ploughboy is as happy as a bird upon the wing |
| [02:19.50] |
The lark in the morning... |
