On a Mountain - from East York Children (Toronto, Ontario) 1959 as collected by Edith Fowke.

On a mountain stands a lady.
Who she is I do not know.
All she wants is gold and silver.
All she needs is a nice young man.

So call in my Nora dear,
Nora dear, Nora dear.
So call in my Nora dear
while I go out to play.
