Who shall have/win my lady fair,
When the leaves are green?
Who but I should win my lady fair,
When the leaves are green?
Who shall win my lady,
When the leaves are green?
Not you, no, no,
The bravest man that best love can
Shall win my lady fair.
Dandirly, dandirly, dandirly dan,
He shall marry her, he's the man;
Dandirly, dandirly, dandirly dan,
When the leaves are green,
He shall marry my lady,
When the leaves are green.
Will you bury my lady fair,
When the leaves are green?
No, not I; I won't bury my lady fair,
When the leaves are green.
Will you bury my lady,
When the leaves are green?
Will you? Why so?
I'd rather marry my lady fair,
E'en though the trees were bare.
Dandirly, dandirly, dandirly dan,
She shall marry a proper man;
Dandirly, dandirly, dandirly dan,
When the leaves are green,
He shall marry my lady,
When the leaves are green.
