Nut Brown Maiden polka

This tune is is also the melody of a song of that name.

Here are the lyrics:

Horo, my nut brown maiden,
Hiri, my nut brown maiden;
Horo, ro, maiden,
For she’s the maid for me.

Chorus
----------
Her eye so mildly beaming,
Her look so frank and free;
In waking and in dreaming,
Is evermore with me.

Oh Mary, mild-eyed Mary,
By land or on the sea;
Though time and tide may vary,
My heart beats true to thee.

With thy fair face before me,
How sweetly flew the hour;
When all thy beauty o’er me,
Came streaming in its power.

The face with kindness glowing,
The face that hides no guile;
The light grace of thy going,
The witchcraft of thy smile.

And when with blossoms laden,
Bright summer comes again;
I’ll fetch my nut brown maiden,
Down from the bonny glen.
