As~ I went a~ walking
one morning in May...
I met a young couple
so fondly did we stray...
And one was a young maid
so sweet and so fair...
And the other was a soldier
and a brave grenadier...

And they kissed so sweet
and comforting
As they clung to each other...
They went arm in arm along the road
Like sister and brother...
They went arm in arm along the road
'Til they came to a stream...
And they both sat down together
For to hear the nightingale sing...

Well out of his knapsack
he took a fine fiddle
And he played her such merry tunes
that you ever did hear
He played her such merry tunes
that the valley did ring
And softly cried the fair maid
as the nightingale sings...

And they kissed so sweet
and comforting
As they clung to each other...
They went arm in arm along the road
Like sister and brother...
They went arm in arm along the road
'Til they came to a stream...
And they both sat down together
For to hear the nightingale sing...

Oh, I'm off to India
for seven long years
Drinking wines and strong whiskies
instead of strong beers
And if ever I return again
'twill be in the spring
And we'll both sit down together
love to hear the nightingale sing...

And they kissed so sweet
and comforting
As they clung to each other...
They went arm in arm along the road
Like sister and brother...
They went arm in arm along the road
'Til they came to a stream...
And they both sat down together
For to hear the nightingale sing...

"Well then", says the fair maid..
"Will you marry me?"
"Oh no", says the soldier..
"however can that be?"
For I've my own wife at home
in my own country
And she is the finest
little maid that you ever did see...

And they kissed so sweet
and comforting
As they clung to each other...
They went arm in arm along the road
Like sister and brother...
They went arm in arm along the road
'Til they came to a stream...
And they both sat down together
For to hear the nightingale sing....
