The lark in the morning she rises off her nest
And she goes up in the air with a jewel on her breast
And like a jolly ploughboy she whistles and she sings
And she comes home in the evening with a jewel on her wings
Oh, Roger the ploughboy he is a dashing blade
He goes whistling and singing through yonder lone shade
He met with dark eyed Susan, she's handsome I declare
And she's far more enticing than the birds all in the air
He met with dark eyed Susan, she's handsome I declare
And he's bought her rolls of ribbon for to reel around her hair
The lark in the morning she rises off her nest
And she goes up in the air with a jewel on her breast
And like a jolly ploughboy she whistles and she sings
And she comes home in the evening with a jewel on her wings
As they were coming home from the weights of the town
The meadows being all mown and the grass had been cut down
If they should chance to tumble all on the new mown hay
Oh, it's kiss me now or never this bonnie lass would say
When twenty long weeks were over and past
Her mammy asked the reason why she thickened round the waist
It was a pretty ploughboy this young girl then did say
For he caused me for to tumble all on the new mown hay
Here's a health to you ploughboys wherever you may be
That likes to have a bonnie lassie sitting on each knee
With a pint of good strong porter he'll whistle and he'll sing
And a ploughboy is as happy as a prince or a king
The lark in the morning she rises off her nest
And she goes up in the air with a jewel on her breast
And like a jolly ploughboy she whistles and she sings
And she comes home in the evening with a jewel on her wings
