When first I came down Yorkshire

Not many years ago

I met with a little Yorkshire lass

And I'd have you all to know

That she was so blithe so buxom

So beautiful and gay

Now listen while I tell you

What he Daddy used to say

Treat me daughter decent

Don't do her any harm

And when I die

I'll leave you both

Me tiny little farm

Me cow me pigs

Me sheep me goats

Me stock me field and barn

And all the little chickens

In the garden

Well first I came to court the girl

She was awful shy

She never said a blooming word

When other folks was by

But as soon as we were on our own

She bade me to name the day

Now listen while I tell you

What he Daddy used to say

Treat me daughter decent

Don't do her any harm

And when I die

I'll leave you both

Me tiny little farm

Me cow me pigs

Me sheep me goats

Me stock me field and barn

And all the little chickens

In the garden

I'm so on wed my Yorkshire lass

So pleasing to me mind

She always did prove true to me

And I'm proved true in kind

We got three bairns

That grown up now

There's a grandbairn on the way

And when I look into their eyes

I can hear their father say

Treat me daughter decent

Don't do her any harm

And when I die

I'll leave you both

Me tiny little farm

Me cow me pigs

Me sheep me goats

Me stock me field and barn

And all the little chickens

In the garden
