Nina

the vineyard lies in the morning
on the hill
the sunrays dance
the miller is drunk for sure
as he dips the bill

aunt Mary has gone for water
at the well
she’ll meet all her friends
so I will go for her daughter
with another tale to tell

pretty little Nina in the morning
when the rabbits jump through the dew
pretty little Nina in the morning
I’ve been a-pickin’ flowers for you

old baker preaches his warnings
on the stairs
nobody cares
the cobbler sits on his doorstep
he just stares

aunt Mary goes to the market
on the square
everyone’s there
so I am turning my card
for Nina fair

pretty little Nina in the morning
when the rabbits jump through the dew
pretty little Nina in the morning
I’ve been a-pickin’ flowers for you
