John Farmer - Fair Phyllis I Saw Lyrics

Lyrics Fair Phyllis I Saw - John Farmer



Fair Phyllis I saw sitting all alone
Feeding her flock near to the mountain side.
Fair Phyllis I saw sitting all alone
Feeding her flock near to the mountain side.
The shepherds knew not,
They knew not whither she was gone,
The shepherds knew not,
They knew not whither she was gone,
But after her lover, her lover, but after her lover
But after her lover, Amyntas hied,
Up and down he wandered,
Up and down he wandered,
Up and down he wandered,
Up and down he wandered,
Up and down he wandered,
Up and down he wandered,
Whilst she was missing;
Whilst she was missing;
When he found her,
O, then they fell a-kissing.
O, then they fell a-kissing, a-kissing
O, then they fell a-kissing.
Up and down he wandered,
Up and down he wandered,
Up and down he wandered,
Up and down he wandered,
Up and down he wandered,
Up and down he wandered,
Whilst she was missing;
Whilst she was missing;
When he found her,
O, then they fell a-kissing.
O, then they fell a-kissing, a-kissing
O, then they fell a-kissing.
