As I sat down by Saddle Stream To bathe my dusty feet there, A boy was standing on the bridge Any girl would meet there. As I went over Woody Knob And dipped into the Hollow, A youth was coming up the hill Any maid would follow. Then in I turned at my own gate, - And nothing to be sad for - To such a man as any wife Would pass a pretty lad for.
