Rising early out of bed Across the fields I steered O
When O and I a woman I spied And a pretty fair maid appeared O.
Her head was bare I do declare She had neither hat nor feather on
And she stopped so low gave me to know It was mushrooms she was gathering O. O gathering O and she stopped so low gave me to know It was mushrooms she was gathering O.
Where are you going says my dear Why are you up so early O
I've seen you on the dewy grass Before the sower Ferdio.
Quite modestly she answered me And she said I gathering mushrooms To make my Mammy ketchup O. O ketchup O and she said I am gathering mushrooms To make my Mammy ketchup O.
Her parting breast on mine she pressed Her heart was like a feather O
And her lips on mine do gentle join And we both sat down together O. Together O and her lips on mine do gentle join And we both sat down together O.
