As I sat down by Saddle Stream / To bathe my dusty feet there,

A boy was standing on the bridge / Any girl would meet there.

As I went over Woody Knob / And dipped into the hollow,

A youth was coming up the hill / Any maid would follow.

Then in I turned at my own gate,- / And nothing to be sad for-

To such a man as any wife / Would pass a pretty lad for.
