Goldfinch (1)/Come buy my Cherries

Come buy my Cherries.

⟨Come⟩ buy my cherries, beauteous lasses,
⟨Fresh⟩ from the garden pluck'd by me,
⟨All⟩ on a summers day so gay,
Sweet fruit and flowers I cry.
⟨Come⟩ then, fair lassies, pray,
And of poor Sally buy

⟨Come⟩ buy my roses, youthful lovers,
⟨And⟩ wave a garland for each maiden's hair.
⟨All⟩ on a summer’s day so gay,
Oh! let not pleasure fly.
⟨Come⟩ then, fond lovers, pray,

And of poor Sally buy,

Sigh not that blossoms are so fleeting,
But seize the treasure, though soon ’twill fade
Thus like a summer’s day so gay,
Life’s bloom will gently fly,
Come then, young lovers, pray,
And of poor Sally buy.
