[00:08.36]Early one morning one morning in spring
[00:15.13]To hear the birds whistle, the nightingale sing
[00:21.86]I met a fair maiden who sweetly did sing
[00:28.64]I'm going to be married next Monday morning
[00:35.37]
[00:37.56]How old are you my fair young maid
[00:44.18]Here in this valley this valley so green
[00:51.38]How old are you my fair young maid
[00:57.94]I'm going to be sixteen next Monday morning
[01:05.20]
[01:06.35]Well sixteen years old that's too young for to marry
[01:13.26]So take my advice five years longer to tarry
[01:20.19]For marriage brings troubles and sorrows begin
[01:26.80]So put off your wedding for Monday morning
[01:33.02]
[01:35.36]You talk like a mad man a man with no skill
[01:41.88]Two years I've been waiting against my own will
[01:48.98]And now I'm determined to have my own way
[01:56.13]And I'm going to be married next Monday morning
[02:03.31]
[02:05.11]And next Monday morning the bells they will ring
[02:11.63]My true love will buy me a gay gold ring
[02:18.83]Also he'll buy me a new pretty gown
[02:25.32]To wear at my wedding next Monday morning
[02:32.45]
[02:34.28]Next Monday night when I go to my bed
[02:41.08]And I turn round to the man that I've wed
[02:47.70]Around his middle my two arms I will fling
[02:56.33]And I wish to my soul it was Monday morning
[03:10.56]
