As I walked out one morning fair
To view green fields and take the air
I saw young banker standing there
And his true love was a lady fair
Young banker he had an handsome face
And all around his hat
He wore a band of lace
Beside such an handsome head of hair
For my young banker I will go there
He said me pretty fair maid
Will you go on deck
With a chain of gold around your neck
Whatever you do I will prove true
But the answer that she gave
I'll have none of you
Young banker he had an handsome face
All around his hat
He wore a band of lace
Beside such an handsome head of hair
For my young banker I will go there
Young banker turned
Around for to go away
But she called after him to bid him stay
Oh stay oh stay
And I will prove true
But the answer that she gave
I'll have none of you
Young banker he had an handsome face
All around his hat
He wore a band of lace
Beside such an handsome head of hair
For my young banker
I will go there
Now she thought
She heard a foreman say
Come pack up your clothes
And come away
It pierced her through the very heart
To think that young banker
And her should part
Young banker he had an handsome face
All around his hat
He wore a band of lace
Beside such an handsome head of hair
For my young banker I will go there
So come you pretty fair maids
With senses of loss
Since the day in love
You have been crossed
For you may lament and you may say
Forever rule the day that you said nay
Young banker he had an handsome face
All around his hat
He wore a band of lace
Beside such an handsome head of hair
For my young banker I will go there
