Another set of lyrics I found in song book

PRETTY GIRL MILKING HER COW

Twas on a bright morning in the summer
That I first heard his voice spakin' low
As he said to a collen beside him
"Who's that purty girl milking her cow"
Och! many times often ye met me
And told me that I should be
Your darlin' Acushla, Alana
Mavourneen, Asuilish, Machree

I have not the manner or graces
Of the girls in the world where ye move
I have not their beautiful faces
But, Oh! I've a heart that can love
If it please ye I'll dress in me satin
And jewels I'll put on me brow
But och! don't be after forgettin'
Your pretty girl milking her cow

The summer has yielded to Autumn
And the daisies and clovertops fade
And the cattle come home from the pastures
Then say, do you love me indade (indeed)
Sure your love will not fade like the Summer
But ever your colleen will be
Your darlin' Acushla, Alana
Mavourneen, Asuilish, Machree
