THere was a Knight was wine drunke, as he rode on the way, And there he spide a bonny Lasse, among the Cocks of Hay: Sing loud, whistle in the winde, blow merry merry, Up and downe in yonder dale, with hey tro nonney nonney. This gallant Knight unto the Lasse, did present take his way, But it seemd he had a shame face, he did not Court and play: Sing loud, whistle in the winde, blow merry merry, Up and downe in yonder dale, with hey tro nonney nonney. When he came to this bonny Lasse, he found she was not coy, His courtesie she did imbrace, and did not say him nay: Sing loud, whistle in the winde, blow merry merry, Up and downe in yonder dale with hey tro nonney nonney.
If we should sit us downe here, upon the grasse so greene, Heres neither sheet nor covering, to keepe our cloathes cleane: Sing loud, whistle in the winde, blow merry merry, Up and downe in yonder dale, with hey tro nonney nonney. And if we should sit downe quoth he, among the Cockes of hay, Then would come forth the Kings Pinder, and take our steedes away: Sing loud, whistle in the winde, blow merry merry, Up and downe in yonder dale, with hey tro nonney nonney. I have rings on my fingers, made of the purest gold, That will release our steedes againe out of the Kings pinfold: Sing loud, whistle in the winde, blow merry merry, Up and downe in yonder dale, with hey tro nonney nonney.

SIR Knight if you will goe with me, into my Fathers Bowers, There may you sit and talke with me, this three or foure houres: Sing loud, whistle in the winde, blow merry merry, Up and downe in yonder dale, with hey tro nonney nonney. When she came to her Fathers Bowers, they were moted round about, Then she slipt in at a wicket and left Sir Knight without: Sing loud, whistle in the winde, blow merry merry, Up and downe in yonder dale, with hey tro nonney nonney. Now I am here a maide within, and you Sir Knight without, You may lay straw under your feete to keepe you from the gout: Sing loud, whistle in the winde, blow merry merry, Up and downe in yonder dale, with hey tro nonney nonney. Henceforth when you doe meet a maide a mile out of the towne, Sir Knight you must not be affraid, of soyling of her gowne: Sing loud, whistle in the winde, blow merry merry, Up and downe in yonder dale, with hey tro nonney nonney.
And if you chance to meet a maid, amongst the Cockes of hay, Sir Knight you must not be affraid, with her to Court, and say Sing loud, whistle in the winde, blow merry merry, Up and downe in yonder dale, with hey tro nonney nonney. It is a proverb many say, and truth it is in tryall, He that will not when as he may, shall after have denyall: Sing loud, whistle in the winde, blow merry merry, Up and downe in yonder dale, with hey tro nonney nonney. And thus Sir Knight now fare you well, to you I bid adieu, Now you hereafterwards may tell how I have served you. Sing loud, whistle in the winde, blow merry merry merry, Up and downe in yonder dale, with hey tro nonney nonney.
