The Ledbury Road

THE road that leads to Ledbury Oh! it be such a pretty way, As far as Wales you’ll likely see, Suppose the month be May.

The little birds they sing and sing, The blackbirds and the thrushes do, And after rain in early Spring The grass looks green and new.

I wish that I were walking there, Along that road so still and wide, A lad without a thought or care, My true-love at my side!
