TESTO DEL LIED

"Polly Pillicote"
di Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Down in yonder meadow where the green grass grows
Pretty Polly Pillicote bleaches her clothes;
She sang, she sang, she sang, O so sweet,
She sang O come over, O come over, across the street.
He kissed her, he kissed her, he bought her a gown,
A gown of rich cramasie out of the town;
He bought her a gown and a guinea gold ring,
A guinea, a guinea, a guinea, a guinea gold ring.
Down in yonder meadow where the green grass grows
Pretty Polly Pillicote bleaches her clothes;
She sang, she sang, she sang, O so sweet,
She sang O come over, O come over, across the street.
