A Lawyer Bold Sung by John Copper on the Song for Every Season LP.
A lawyer bold the other day
Came riding from the city
When he beheld a most handsome fair,
So charming sweet and prettyGood morning to you my fair pretty maid
And pray where are you going?
Down in yonder green meadow, green meadow, cried she,
My father's there a-mowing.I'll take you up to London town
And honour you like a lady,
Fine dresses and gowns you shall put on,
Fine ribbons and fine silken laces.O, I want none of your London town,
Or any other such places,
Nor do I want your fine dresses or gowns,
Fair ribbons and fine silken laces.And now she is a poor man's wife
And he does dearly love her.
She lives a sweet contented life,
No lady in town's above her
