In the wild there is a dead antelope, | |
And it is wrapped up with the white grass. | |
There is a young lady with thoughts natural to the spring, | |
And a fine gentleman would lead her astray. | |
In the forest there are the scrubby oaks; | |
In the wild there is a dead deer, | |
And it is bound round with the white grass. | |
There is a young lady like a gem. | |
[She says], Slowly; gently, gently; | |
Do not move my handkerchief; | |
Do not make my dog bark. |
