lyrics

A lady was walking all on a summer’s day
She came to a meadow so brilliant & green,
So brilliant green.

Along came a-riding a young man so handsome.
On a white horse he was riding with scarlet ribbons.

Said the young man to the lady “Where are you going to?”
When the sun shines so brightly on this meadow green,
All on the meadow green.

Said the lady to the young man “On this fine morning,
I will gather yellow flowers to make a crown for my hair,
To make a crown for my hair.”

“Come with me , to the sea, that sparkles like a jewel.
We will dive beneath the water so blue & cool-
So blue & cool.
Me with my yellow flowers, you & your scarlet ribbons.”
Beneath the water so cool…
