The words
Verse 1
Feeding her flock near to the mountain side; side. The shepherds knew not, they knew not whither she was gone, But after her lover, her lover, but after her lover Amyntas hied. Up and down he wandered, up and down, up and down he wandered, up and down he wandered, up and down he wandered, up and down he wandered, up and down he wandered, whilst she was missing; When he found her, O, then they fell akissing, O, then they fell akissing, akissing, O, then they fell akissing. Up and down he kissing.
