Would I were a Girl again.

Would I were a Girl again.Oh, would I were a girl again,With heart and spirit free,To gayly rove the village plain,Or singing o’er the lea.Then can you wonder if I sighAnd sadly thus deplore,To wish for days, alas! gone by,And be a girl once more.I gayly trod the mountain side,Knew naught of care or gloom,Its purple bells brought home with pride,To deck my mother’s room,Then can you wonder if I sigh, &c.

Oh, would I were a girl again,

With heart and spirit free,

To gayly rove the village plain,

Or singing o’er the lea.

Then can you wonder if I sigh

And sadly thus deplore,

To wish for days, alas! gone by,

And be a girl once more.

I gayly trod the mountain side,Knew naught of care or gloom,Its purple bells brought home with pride,To deck my mother’s room,Then can you wonder if I sigh, &c.

I gayly trod the mountain side,

Knew naught of care or gloom,

Its purple bells brought home with pride,

To deck my mother’s room,

Then can you wonder if I sigh, &c.
