AS I sat at my Spinning-Wheel,  
a bonny Lad there passed by,  
I keened him round, and I liked him we'll  
geud Faith he had a bonny Eye:  
My Heart new panting, began to teel,  
But still I turned my Spinning-Wheel   

Most gracefully he did appear,  
As he my presence did draw near,  
And round about my slender Waste,  
He clasped his Arms and me embraced:  
To kiss my hand he down did kneel,  
As I sat at my Spinning-Wheel.

My Milk-white Hand he did extol,  
And praised my Fingers long and small,  
And said, there was no Lady fair,  
That ever could with me compare:  
Those pleasing words my Heart did feel,  
But still I turned my Spinning-wheel.   

Although I seemingly did chide,  
Yet he would never be denied,  
But did declare his love the more,  
Until my Heart was wounded fore;  
That I my love could scarce conceal,  
But yet I turned my Spinning-wheel.   

As for my Yarn, my Rock, and Reel,  
And after that my Spinning-Wheel,  
He bid me leave them all with speed,  
And gang with him to yonders Mead:  
My panting Heart strange flames did feel,  
Yet still I turned my Spinning-wheel.   

He stopped and gazed and blithely said,  
Now speed thee we'll my bonny Maid,  
But if thou'st to the Haycock go,  
I'll learn thee better Work I trow;  
Geud Faith I liked him passing we'll,  
But still I turned my Spinning-wheel.   

He lowly veiled his Bonnet ,  
And sweetly Kissed my Lips so soft,  
Yet still between each honey Kiss,  
He urged me gang to farther bliss;  
Till I resistless fire did feel,  
Then let alone my Spinning-wheel.   

Among the pleasant Cocks of Hay,  
Then with my bonny Lad I lay,  
What Damsel ever could deny,  
A Youth with such a Charming Eye?  
The pleasure I cannot reveal,  
It far surpassed the Spinning wheel.
