I Went Hunting

I went hunting in the morning, Polly
When the geese were in the field
I went hunting in the morning, Polly
The geese were in the field

Then I saw a woman changing
From a woman to a gosling
Then I saw a woman changing
Before my eyes

And the larks sang melodious, Polly
At the dawning of the day
And they only know the one song, Polly
But they sing it wondrously

And the beauty of the singing
All along the valley ringing
And the beauty of the singing
Stayed my hand
