Two maids went a-milking one day
And the wind, it did blow high
And the wind, it did blow low
And it toss-ed their pails to and fro, la la la
It toss-ed their pails to and fro
They met with a man they did know (2x)
And they said, "Have you the will"
And they said, "Have you the skill
For to catch us a small bird or two, la la la
For to catch us a small bird or two?"
"Why yes, I've an ex'llent good skill" (2x)
"So if you will go with me
Under yonder flow'ring tree
I will catch you a small bird or two, la la la
I will catch you a small bird or two."
So they went and they sat 'neath the tree
They went and they sat 'neath two
And the birds flew round about
Pretty birds flew in and out
And he caught them a small bird or two, la la la
And he caught them a small bird or two
So me lads, let us drink down the sun
Me boys, let us drink down the moon
Take your lady in the wood
If you really think you should
You might catch her a small bird or two, la la la
You might catch her a small bird or two.
