  *++Lyrics:|\\
The time 'tis of haying,\\
Two lovers are straying,\\
Thro' sweet love land;\\
Two lips with love meeting,\\
Two hearts with love beating, To beat the band.\\
The boy has grown silent, the girl wonders why,\\
He turns to the girl with a sigh.\\
And soft he replies,\\
When she asks why he sighs,\\
"I am thinking my dear,\\
Only thinking my dear:"\\
\\
"If a girl like you, loved a boy like me,\\
Like a girl like you could love,\\
If she cared to care, and he dared to dare,\\
What a happy pair they'd be,\\
If a girl like you, loved a boy like me,\\
And the girl like you, was you,\\
I tel you what, I'd give a whole lot,\\
If the boy was me."\\
//(repeat chorus)//\\
\\
The time 'tis in June time,\\
Birds singing in tune time,\\
And June time brings,\\
Each day a new wedding,\\
And under this heading,\\
Comes rings and things;\\
A boy and a girl we have oft met before,\\
Are now coming out a church door.\\
For the boy dared to dare,\\
And the girl cared to care,\\
When he whisper'd so low,\\
In the first verse you know:\\
\\
