[00:09.250] Little birds are singing all around me, on every bush and vine
[00:21.750] My pleasures would be doubled if I could call you mine
[00:37.910] As I've sat here the whole night through till now it's a breaking day
[00:50.490] I'm awaiting for an answer, kind lady what do you say
[01:07.300] If I could tell to you my mind
[01:13.460] I would choose a single life
[01:19.520] For I would never thought that it suited for me to be your wife
[01:34.700] So he wrote to her an answer and he sent it by full speed
[01:46.760] You know I once did love you dearly, I once loved you indeed
[01:59.140] But since that time my mind has changed ,I loved another way
[02:11.610] I love a pretty fair damsel more suitable for me
[02:54.690] And it had not been, but a very short time until this maiden's mind did change
[03:06.750] She wrote him a letter, Kind sir I am ashamed
[03:19.420] If ever I have slighted you, or ever done you wrong
[03:31.640] I am so far away from you that I can't hear you moan
[03:46.940] Little birds are singing all around me, on every bush and vine
[03:59.360] My pleasures would be doubled if I could call you mine
[04:11.800] My pleasures would be doubled if I could call you mine
