Beauty sat bathing by a spring
where fairest shades did hide her
The winds blew calm the birds did sing
the cool streams ran beside her
My wanton thoughts enticed my eye
to see what was forbidden

But better memory said “fie”
so vain desire was chidden

Hey nonny nonny hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny

Hey nonny nonny hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny

Into a slumber then I fell
with fond imagination
Seemed to see but could not tell
her feature or her fashion
But even as babes in dreams do smile
and sometimes fall a weeping

So I awaked as wise this while
as when I fell a-sleeping

Hey nonny nonny hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny

Hey nonny nonny hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny

Well ain’t you worried about doing the right thing?
Well I don’t care if I hey nonny nonny nonny ho nonny nonny nonny
