Bird in the Bush
Three maidens a-milking did go Three maidens a-milking did go And the wind it blow high and the wind it did blow low It tossed their petticoats to and fro
They met with a young man they know They met with a young man they know And they've asked it of him if he had any skill To catch them a small bird or two
Oh yes, I've a very good skill Oh yes, I've a very good skill And it's come away with me to the yonder flowering tree And I'll catch you a small bird or two

And her sparkling eyes they did turn round Just as if she was in a swound And she cried 'Oh, I've a bird and a very pretty bird He's a-pecking away at his own ground'
Here's a health to the bird in the bush Here's a health to the bird in the bush And we'll drink up the sun, and we'll drink down the moon Let the neighbours say little or much
