- Traditional 18th-century ballad attributed to irish poet and songwriter Thomas Moore. I use a Martin D-28GE
Pretty girl milking her cow
It was on a fine summer's morning
The birds sweetly tune on each bough
And as I walked out for my pleasure
I saw a maid milking a cow
Her voice was so enchanting, melodious
Left me quite unable to go
My heart, it was loaded with sorrow
For the pretty maid milking her cow
Then to her I made my advances
Good morrow most beautiful maid
Your beauty my heart so entranches
Pray sir do not banter, she said
I'm not such a rare precious jewel
That I should enamour you so
I am but a poor little milk girl,
Says the pretty maid milking her cow
The Indies afford no such jewel
So bright, so transparently clear
I do not add things to my funeral
Consent but to know me my dear
Oh, had I the Lamp of Aladdin
Or the wealth that gold mines can bestow
I'd rather be poor in a cottage
With the pretty girl milking her cow.
A young maid is like a ship sailing,
There's no knowing how long she may steer,
For with every blast she's in danger;
Oh! consent, love, and banish all care.
The fragrance of May is soon over,
The rose loses its beauty, you know;
All bloom is consumed in October,
With the pretty girl milking her cow.

I learned the lyrics a bit differently, and I trim out the bits about "yeah, women age like milk," but otherwise, this has made for a great song to sing for my son at bedtime!
thank you for sharing your performance. . it’s lovely.
Thankyou for listening!
Very nice ! I,m working through the original piano score (from the 19th century) trying to get a sense of the tune. It has a long Gaelic title "Coleen d'has Cruthen Na Moe" supposedly attributed to Alexander Lee, but I suspect he's only the arranger. The melody is traditional Irish...which means nobody knows who actually wrote it. That 's some provenance. Your performance was very helpful. I now have some good ideas to work with. Thanks
