Lyrics

(Source: as heard)

	As I went out walking
	One fine summer morning,
	The birds in the bushes
	Did whistle and sing.
	The lads and the lassies
	In couples were courtin,'
	Going back to the factory
	Their work to begin.

	He spied one among them;
	she was fairer than many.
	Her cheeks like the red rose
	That blooms in the spring.
	Her hair like the lily
	That grows in yon valley.
	She was only a hard-working
	Factory girl.

	He sets up beside her,
	More closely to view her.
	She says, "My young man,
	Don't steer me so.
	I've gold in my pocket
	And silver as well.
	No more will I answer
	That factory call."
