 your beauty shines so clear,

That upon these lonely mountains

I'm glad to meet you here.

She said kind sir be civil,

my company forsake,

For in my great opinion,

I believe you're but a rake;

And if my parents they should know,

my life they would destroy,

For keeping of your company,

all on the mountains high.

He says, I am no rake,

I'm brought up in Venus' train,

I'm seeking for concealments

all in the Judge's name.

Your beauty so entises me,

I could not pass you by,

So with my gun I'll guard you

all on the mountains high.

This pretty little young thing,

she stood all in amaze,
