Lay still my fond shepherd and don't you rise yet, it's a fine dewy morning and besides, my love, it is wet
    A                         D       E                    D     E         A     E7  A
Oh let it be wet my love and ever so cold, I will rise my fond Floro and away to my fold
    A                      D            E                      D   E              A          E7  A
Oh no, my bright Floro, it is no such thing, it's a bright sun a-shining and the lark is on the wing

Oh The Lark In The Morning she rises from her nest and she mounts in the air with the dew on her breast
     A                                 D          E                           D  E          A   E7    A
And like the pretty ploughboy she'll whistle and sing, and at night she will return to her own nest again

When the ploughboy is done all he's got for to do, he trips down to the meadow where the grass is all cut down
        A                       D              E                      D   E            A     E7    A
