There Stands a Lady- (Cam) 1898 Haddon
[From the chapter "Courting Songs" in "The Study of Man" by Alfred Cort Haddon of Inisfail, Cambridge; 1898.

Or there is the very practical young lady on the mountain:
"There stands a lady on a mountain,
Who she is I do not know;
All she wants is gold and silver,
All she wants is a nice young man.
"Now she's married I wish her joy,
First a girl and then a boy;
Seven years after son and daughter:
Pray, young couple, kiss together.
"Kiss her once, kiss her twice,
Kiss her three times three."
The marriage formula of the second verse is a very common one, subject, of course, to numerous variations. That this enshrines some ancient and widely spread sentiment there can be little doubt.
