[00:02.10]The lark in the morning she rises off her nest
[00:05.61]She goes off in the air with the dew all on her breast
[00:09.84]And like the jolly ploughboy she whistles and she sings
[00:23.61]She goes off in the air with the dew all on her wings
[00:36.63]Oh Roger the ploughboy he is a dashing blade
[00:40.17]He goes whistling and singing over yonder leafy shade
[00:44.40]He met with dark haired Susan, she's handsome I declare
[00:48.27]And she is far more enticing than the birds up in the
[00:51.33]Air
[00:57.63]The lark in the morning...
[01:02.97]One evening when they're coming from the rakes of the
[01:20.67]Town
[01:21.72]The meadows bein' all mown and the grass had been cut
[01:24.60]Down
[01:26.01]As she should chance to stumble all on the new mown hay
[01:29.01]Oh it's kiss me now or never, then this bonnie lass did
[01:35.25]Say
[01:35.49]The lark in the morning...
[01:49.98]When twenty long weeks, they were over and were past
[01:53.85]Her mammy asked the reason why she thickened round the
[01:56.61]Waist
[01:58.35]It was the jolly ploughboy, this bonnie lass did say
[02:01.47]He caused me for to tumble all on the new mown hay
[02:05.28]The lark in the morning...
[02:07.32]Here's a health to you ploughboys wherever you may be
[02:08.85]That like to have a bonnie lass a-sitting on each knee
[02:14.04]With a pint of good strong porter, you'll whistle and
[02:15.81]You'll sing
[02:17.67]And the ploughboy is as happy as a bird upon the wing
[02:19.50]The lark in the morning...
