Oh, the lark in the morning,
And comes home in the evening
with her jewel on her breast
And like the jolly plowboy,
she whistles and she sings
And comes home in the evening
with her jewel on her wings
Well, Roger, the plowboy,
Goes whistling and singing down
He met with Dagger Toosan,
she's handsome, I declare
than the birds all in the air
She comes home in the evening
with her jewel on her breast
she whistles and she sings
And comes home in the evening
with her jewel on her wing
Well as they were coming home
through the rakes of the town
The grass had been all mown
and the hay had been cut down
Well late she tried to tumble
Oh kiss me now or never love
Comes home in the evening
with her jewel on her breast
she whistles and she sings
Comes home in the evening
with her jewel on her wings
Ah well, for twenty long weeks
they were over and they're past
Her mammy asked the reason
why she tickled round the waist
It was the handsome plowboy,
the handsome girl did say
That caused my fur to tumble
She comes home in the evening
with her jewel on her breast
And like the jolly plowboy,
she whistles and she sings
She comes home in the evening
with her jewel on her wings
It's a health to all you plowboys,
That likes to have your bonnie lassies
With a pint of good strong porter
you'll whistle and you'll sing
For a plowboy is as happy as
She comes home in the evening
with her jewel on her breast
And like the jolly plowboy
she whistles and she sings
She comes home in the evening
with her jewel on her wing
