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.
