Saw Ye Aught of My Love A-coming from the Market?
Saw ye aught* of my love a-coming from the market?
A peck** of meal upon her back,
A babby in her basket;
Saw ye aught of my love a-coming from the market?
Notes
*Interrogative meaning "at all" – this sentence means simply, "Did you see my love at all coming from the market?".
**A peck is a measurement of dry goods equaling two gallons.
