Rising early out of bed
   Across the fields I steered O
  
   When O and I a woman I spied
   And a pretty fair maid appeared O.
  
   Her head was bare I do declare
   She had neither hat nor feather on
  
   And she stopped so low gave me to know
   It was mushrooms she was gathering O.
   O gathering O
   and she stopped so low gave me to know
   It was mushrooms she was gathering O.
  
   Where are you going says my dear
   Why are you up so early O
  
   I've seen you on the dewy grass
   Before the sower Ferdio.
  
   Quite modestly she answered me
   And she said I gathering mushrooms
   To make my Mammy ketchup O.
   O ketchup O
   and she said I am gathering mushrooms
   To make my Mammy ketchup O.
  
   Her parting breast on mine she pressed
   Her heart was like a feather O
  
   And her lips on mine do gentle join
   And we both sat down together O.
   Together O
   and her lips on mine do gentle join
   And we both sat down together O.
