  *++Lyrics:|\\
While strolling thro' the meadows fair,\\
Amid the daisies white,\\
I saw a little maiden there,\\
Whose smile was sweet and bright;\\
We lingered by the silv'ry stream\\
That rippled thro' the glade,\\
And like a fairy did she seem,\\
That little dairy maid.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Sweet little dairy maid,\\
Over the fields we strayed,\\
Saucy and bright with loves delight,\\
To me she fondly said,\\
Come take a stroll with me\\
Over the flow'ry glade,\\
Then at the gate we linger'd late,\\
With my sweet little dairy maid.\\
I saw her to the cottage gate,\\
\\
And there we linger'd long;\\
The cricket said the hour is late,\\
We heeded not its song;\\
We talk'd about her father's cows,\\
And while we there delayed,\\
I kiss'd beneath the apple boughs,\\
My little dairy maid.\\
\\
I carried off her little pail,\\
Across the meadows fair,\\
While wand'ring over hill and dale,\\
I told love's story there;\\
One evening while the star-light shone.\\
And blissfully we strayed,\\
She promised to be mine alone,\\
My little dairy maid.\\
