Come a' ye lonely lovers come and listen unto me
It's of a prentice ploughman boy I mean to let you hear
Concerning of a prentice boy and a ploughman he is bound
And my love he is the heir to nearly 20 thousand pounds.

It was in my father's garden that my love first met with me.
He threw his arms around my neck and embraced me tenderly.
We both sat down upon the ground for to complete our joy.
Go where you will and I love him still he's my darling ploughman boy.

The saxton leaves I will pull down on them I'll make my bed.
The greenwood piles I will pull down below my weary head.
The raper bush will be my guide and for once my heart's decoy.
Go where you will and I love him still he's my darling ploughman boy.

Now since I have declined to tell you his name,
He is the laddie and the man the lad I call my ain,
And when he sings the valley rings and fills my heart with joy.
Go where you will and I love him still he's my darling ploughman boy.
