Gathering Mushrooms

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.
