SPORT, by                    
First Line: Pretty maiden passing by
Last Line: Who may come a-passing by.
Subject(s): Courtship


PRETTY maiden passing by,
Modest look and downcast eye;
Don't you hear me gently sigh,
Pretty maiden passing by?

Pretty maiden passing by,
Look so timid and so shy;
Will you love me till I die,
Pretty maiden passing by?

But, alas! she'll not reply,
And not even tell me why;
So another maid I'll try,
Who may come a-passing by.
