A fair maid walking all in her garden

J. Gardner

A fair maid walking all in her garden,

a brisk young sailor she chanced to spy,

He stepped up to her thinking to woo her, cried thus:

Fair maid, can you fancy I?

You seem to be some man of honour,

some man of honour you seem to be,

I am a poor and lowly maiden,

not fitting, sir, your servant for to be.
