[Verse]
A D E D E A E7 A
Lay still my fond shepherd and don't you rise yet, it's a fine dewy morning and besides, my love, it is wet
A D E D E A E7 A
Oh let it be wet my love and ever so cold, I will rise my fond Floro and away to my fold
A D E D E A E7 A
Oh no, my bright Floro, it is no such thing, it's a bright sun a-shining and the lark is on the wing
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
A D E D E A E7 A
Oh The Lark In The Morning she rises from her nest and she mounts in the air with the dew on her breast
A D E D E A E7 A
And like the pretty ploughboy she'll whistle and sing, and at night she will return to her own nest again
[Instrumental]

[Verse]

When the ploughboy is done all he's got for to do, he trips down to the meadow where the grass is all cut down
A D E D E A E7 A
Oh The Lark In The Morning she rises from her nest and she mounts in the air with the dew on her breast
A D E D E A E7 A
And like the pretty ploughboy she'll whistle and sing, and at night she will return to her own nest again
