Pauline Scanlon - The Bird In The Bush

Three maidens a-walking did go
And the wind it blew high and the wind it did blow low
It tossed their petticoats to and fro

They met with a young man they knew
And they asked of him if he had any skill
To catch them a small bird or two

Oh Yes I've a very fine skill
And if you'll come along with me to yon flowering are
I might catch you a small bird or two

So along to the greenwoods they went
And the bird it flew in and the bird it flew out
Just a above her snow-white knee

Here's a health to the bird in the bush
And we'll drink up the sun, and drink down the moon
Let the people say little or much
