She sat down beside him, the grass was so green
The day was the fairest that ever was seen.
The look in your eye beats a morning in May
I could sit by your side till the next market day.

Chorus

Now as she went homeward, the words he had said
And the tune that he sung her still rang in her head.
I’ll search for that lad be it land or by sea
Till he learns me the tune to ‘The Next Market Day.’
