   The Merry Brown Bush
   There being a comely fair maid
   Young Susan was her name
   A gentleman stepped up to her
   And this to her did say
   I'd wager you ten hundred pounds in gold
   That a maid you 'ill go
   To the merry brown bush
   And a maid you 'ill return no more.

   II
   I have no money kind sir she said
   Bit I ll wager my gown of green
   That a maid I'll go to merry brown bush
   And a maid I'll return again
   Its when she went to the brown bush
   Her true love, he lay asleep
   She pulled the blossoms of the broom
   The blossoms smelled so sweet
   She pulled the blossoms of the broom
   And hid herself in the merry brown bush
   To hear what her true love would say

   III
   Saying where are you my bonny hawk
