Layin' on my back
In the nude and on the grass
Rain is coming down
But the clouds will surely pass
You bring me tea
Say "the babe's are sleepin'"
Lay down my darling
Love ain't for keeping
Black ash from the foundry
Hangs like a hood
But the air is perfumed
By the burning firewood
The seeds are bursting,
The Spring is seeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down my darling
Love ain't for keeping
Love ain't for keeping - no
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down
Lay down
Lay down my darlin'
Oh no, no, don't keep your love
No, no, no, don't keep your love
Don't keep your love
No, no, don't keep your love
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down my darling
Love ain't for keeping
I think the second line is 'in the newly-mown grass'. But who cares; it's a superb song and performance, in the tradition of all the poetry, back into antiquity, where the male urges the female to give in to desire, because the opportunity, once lost, may never return... ;-)

I'm pretty sure he sings "newly mown grass" not "in the nude and on the grass"
