[Lyric] Next Market Day (Brooke & John McLoughlin)

A maid going to Comber her markets to lend
To win for her mammy three skeins of fine yarn
She met with a young man along the highway
That caused this young damsel to dally and stray

Sit down beside me, I mean you no harm
Sit down beside me, this new tune to learn
Here are three guineas, allow me to pay
So lay by your yarn 'til the next market day

They sat down together, the grass it was green
The day was the fairest that ever was seen
The look in your eyes bеats a morning in May
I would sit by your side 'til the next markеt day

Sit down beside me, I mean you no harm
Sit down beside me, this new tune to learn
Here are three guineas, allow me to pay
So lay by your yarn 'til the next market day

The maid she went home and the words that he said
The air that he played her still rang in her head
She says, "I'll go find him by land or by sea
'Til he learns me that tune called 'The Next Market Day'"
Sit down beside me, I mean you no harm
Sit down beside me, this new tune to learn
Here are three guineas, allow me to pay
So lay by your yarn 'til the next market day

A maid went to Comber, her markets to lend
To win for her mammy three skeins of fine yarn
She met with a young man upon the highway
Which caused this young damsel to dally and stray
