Drink Down the Moon / Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine
Three maidens a-milking did go Three maidens a-milking did go And the wind it did blow high And the wind it did blow low It tossed their petticoats to a fro
They met with some young man they know They met with some young man they know And they boldly asked him if he had any skill To catch them a small bird or two
Oh yes, I've a very good skill Oh yes, I've a very good skill And it's come along with me to yonder flowering tree And I'll catch a small bird or two

Her sparkling eyes they did turn around Just as if she had been all in a swoon And she cried 'I've a bird and a very pretty bird And he's pecking away at his own ground'
Here's a health to the bird in the bush Here's a health to the bird in the bush And we'll drink up the sun, we'll drink down the moon Let the people say little or much
