Madam

a maiden walking in her garden
 but her name i do not know
 i'll go and court her for her beauty
 let the answer be yes or no
 madam, madam, i'll come a courting
 that your favor i may gain
 sit you down you're kindly welcome
 then perhaps you may call again
 madam i have gold and silver
 madam i have house and land
 madam i have a world of pleasure
 leave it all at your command
 don't tell me of your gold and silver
 don't tell me of your house and land
 dont tell me of your will to pleasure
 all i want is a handsome man
 ♪
 handsome men are out of fashion
 maidens beauty soon decays
 you'll be a flower of the bright summer morning
 before the evening will fade away
 first come the oxslip then the cruel
 then the pink and then the maid
 then come a new love and then come true love
 before the evening will fade away
 once i layed on a young man's pillow
 which i thought it was my own
 now i do lay under the willow
 all for the sake of a false young man
 ♪
 before the evening will fade away
