Lyrics

Rising early out ofbed
Across the fields I steered o
When o and I a woman I spied
And a pretty fair maid appeared o

Her head was bare I do declare
She had neither hat nor feather on
And she stooped so low gave me to know
It was mushrooms she was gathering o
O gathering o, and she stooped so low gave me to know
It was mushrooms she was gathering o

Where are you going says I my dear
Why are you up so early o
I've seen you on the dewy grass
Before the sower ferdio

Quite modestly she answered me
And she gave her head one fetch up
And she said I am gathering mushrooms
To make my mammy ketchup o
O ketchup o, and she said I am gathering mushroom
To make my mammy ketchup o

Her parting breast on mine she pressed
Her heart was like a feather o
And her lips on mine do gentle join
And we both sat down together o
Together o, and her lips on mine do gentle join
And we both sat down together o
