While you lie in slumber I'll wake up early and I'll go and milk the goats You stay in bed and play around inside your dreams You get to be the princess and you wear the cone shaped hat Dawn and a horse comes, gallops in to take your hand I am a milkmaid and I'll bring your breakfast in Soiled skirt and you'll know just where I've been In the barn, in the hay loft The best place to I will pound the flour for wedding cakes And God will pull the garter off of your wet leg The waiting by until your day
