The text for the first folksong, "The Spring Time of the Year," is:
As I walked out one morning,
In the springtime of the year,
I overheard a sailor boy,
Likewise a lady fair.
They sang a song together,
Made the valleys to ring,
While the birds on spray, and the meadows gay
Proclaimed the lovely spring.
