Hey Nonny Nonny Lyrics

    Beauty sat bathing by a spring where fairest shades did hide her
    The winds blew calm the birds did sing the cool streams ran beside her
    My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye to see what was forbidden
    But better memory said "fie" so vain desire was chidden
    Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
    Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie
    Into a slumber then i fell when fond imagination
    Seemed to see but could not tell her feature or her fashion
    But e'vn as babes in dreams do smile and sometimes fall a weeping
    So i awaked as wise this while as when i fell a-sleeping
    Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
    Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonnie
    Say man are you down for doing something positive in the community?
    No i don't think i'll ever do that again
    Well ain't you worried about doing the right thing?
    Well i don't care if i hey nonny nonny nonny ho nonny nonny nonny
