A Cornish young man he dreamed a dream

The most beautiful girl in the nation

No coucil he'll take but a journey he'd make

Into England to seek this fair creature

For seven long years he sought her all about

Till he came to the place where he met her

He opened the door and she stood in before

She's just some poor labouring man's daughter

Oh I never saw you but once in my life

And that was a dream love lie by me

And now that I find you there's tears in my eyes

And I hope that you never deny me

Oh what is the matter young man she replied

That you seem so afraid of denial

Although I am poor I will never be w***e

So put me not under no trial

No w***e should you be no any such thing

So take this sweet kiss as a token

For love oh my dear is a stone in a sling

And it's hard to believe when its spoken

Oh take up this ring and a guinea in gold

And between us never let it be broken

For love oh my dear is a stone in a sling

And it's hard to believe till its spoken
