Transcript	Just going down to the gate 1. My sweet heart's a shy little fairy, Her age is just seventeen Her parents say's she is too airy, But a sweeter girl never was seen, At night she steals out from the cottage, Her mother call's after her Kate, She answers dear ma I'm not going far I'm just going down to the gate. (chorus) Just going down to the gate dear ma, Just down to the old garden gate, The moon is so bright it's such a nice night, I'm just going down to the gate. (2) Of corse at the gate I am waiting, And sweet are the words that we say While with in the old folks are debating as to when they shall move in May
