~ Who Goes Up the Meadow Way ~

Who goes up the meadow way? Hola hee, hola ho
Surely 'tis my sweetheart gay, hola hee la ho
He goes by the open door, hola hee, hola ho
He must not love me anymore, hola hee la ho.

People see his laughing eyes, hola hee hola ho
Love is blind, but age makes wise, hola hee la ho
Little heed I when they tease, hola hee hola ho
I will love just whom I please, hola hee la ho.

On my sweetheart's wedding day, hola hee hola ho
All my sweetheart's friends are gay, hola hee la ho
But my hopes and dreams are gone, hola hee hola ho
I must bear my grief alone, hola hee la ho

When I die my love dies too, hola hee, hola lo
They'll all say that I was true, hola hee la ho
On yon hill my grave shall be, hola hee hola ho
Forget-me-nots shall comfort me, hola hee la ho.
