As I went out walkin' one fine summer's mornin' 
the birds in the branches they did gaily sing 
the lad and the lasses together were sportin' 
goin' down to the fact'ry their work to begin 
I spied a fair damsel far fairer than any 
her cheeks like the red rose that none could excel 
her skin like the lily that grows in yon valley 
she's my own bonnie Annie my factory girl 
I stepped did up to her just thinkin' to view her 
but at me she cast a proud look of disdain 
sayin' "Stand off me young man and do not insult me 
for although I am poor sure I think it no shame" 
"It's not to insult you fair maid I adore thee  
ah pray grant me one favor it's where do ya dwell?" 
"Kind sir forgive me it's now I must leave you 
for I hear the dumb sound of the factory bell" 
Now love is a thing that does rule every nation 
good mornin' kind sir and I hope ya do well 
my friends and relations would all frown upon it 
besides I'm a hardworkin' factory girl 
Oh it's true I do love her but now she won't have me 
for her sake I'll wander through valley and dell 
and for her sake I'll wander where no one can find me 
I'll die for the sake of my factory girl
