Searching For Lambs (Trad arr Mawkin)
A very popular song with great versions being sung by everyone and his dog. This particular variant is from the Steeleye Span version.

lyrics

As I walked out one May morning, one May morning so fine,
I met a maid from home had strayed just as the sun did shine.

What makes you rise so soon my dear, the day so fresh and new,
Your pretty little feet they tread so neat strike off the morning dew.

I'm going to feed my father's flock his young and tender lambs.
That over hills and over dales i'll find them on the land.

O stay o stay you handsome maid and rest a moment here.
For there is no-one but you alone that I do love so dear.

How wonderful, the sun does shine, how pleasant is the air.
I'd rather rest on my true love's breast amongst her golden hair.

For I am your and you are mine. No man shall discomfort me.
We'll join our hands in wedded bands and married we shall be
