Two Songs

Song Cycle by Cecil Armstrong Gibbs (1889 - 1960)

1. Down in yonder meadow  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
Here comes a lusty wooer,
My a dildin, my a daldin;
Here comes a lusty wooer,
Lily bright and shine-a!

Pray, who do you woo?
My a dildin, my a daldin,
Pray, who do you woo?
Lily bright and shine-a!

I woo your fairest daughter,
My a dildin, my a daldin;
I woo your fairest daughter;
Lily bright and shine-a!

Then there she is for you,
My a dildin, my a daldin;
Then there she is for you,
Lily bright and shine-a!
