Come live with me and be my love, | Come live with me and be my love, | ||
And we will all the pleasures prove, | |||
That hills and valleys, dales and fields, | That hills and valleys, dales and fields, | ||
And all the craggy mountain yields. | |||
There we will sit upon the rocks, | There we will sit upon the rocks, | ||
And see the shepherds feed their flocks | |||
By shallow rivers, to whose falls | By shallow rivers, to whose falls | ||
Melodious birds sing madrigals. | |||
And I will make thee beds of roses | And I will make thee beds of roses | ||
With a thousand fragrant posies, | |||
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle | A cap of flowers, and a kirtle | ||
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle; | |||
A gown made of the finest wool | A gown made of the finest wool | ||
Which from our pretty lambs we pull; | |||
Fair lined slippers for the cold, | Fair lined slippers for the cold, | ||
With buckles of the purest gold; | |||
A belt of straw and ivy buds, | A belt of straw and ivy buds, | ||
With coral clasps and amber studs: | |||
And if these pleasures may thee move, | And if these pleasures may thee move, | ||
Come live with me and be my love. | |||

English text
Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove,
That hills and valleys, dales and fields,
And all the craggy mountain yields.
There we will sit upon the rocks,
And see the shepherds feed their flocks
By shallow rivers, to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
And I will make thee beds of roses
With a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;
A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;
A belt of straw and ivy buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs:
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me and be my love.
