I was out with my wagon one morning in spring;
The trees was full leaf and the birds was full singing.

(Refrain) 
"Well done Robin, drive on Robin;
Drive along Robin, right-o and gee woa."

All along down the lane then a maid I did spy;
And the meadows awoke to the sound of my cry.

(Refrain)

So I hastened my horses to walk by her side;
And I said to the damsel "My dear, won't you ride?"

(Refrain)

I put my arm round her and I gave her a kiss;
She said "You can take me, young man, if you wish."

(Refrain)

I spoke to my forehorse, he jingled his bell;
That was his music, as no tongue can tell.

(Refrain)

She bet time to my music, the bells they did sound;
"God bless you, my dear, how the wheels run around."

(Refrain)
