So I'll give to you a paper of pins if
that's the way our love begins
If you will marry me, dear,
if you will marry me
I won't accept your paper of pins for
that's not the way my love begins
And I'll not marry you, sir,
and I'll not marry you
So I'll give to you a dress of green
that you may look just like a queen
If you will marry me,
dear, if you will marry me
I won't accept your dress of green that
I made with just like a queen
And I'll not marry you, sir,
and I'll not marry you
I'll give to you a little trade dog
to walk with you when you walk broad
If you will marry me, dear,
if you will marry me
I won't accept your little trade dog
to walk with me when I walk broad
and I'll not marry you, sir,
and I'll not marry you.
I'll give to you a dress of red,
stitched all around
with golden thread if you will marry me,
dear,
if you will marry me.
I won't accept your dress of red,
stitched all around
with golden thread,
and I'll not marry you, sir,
and I'll not marry you.
I'll give to you my house and land
that you may have at your command
And if you will marry me, dear, if you will marry me, I won't accept your house and land that I may have at my command,
and I'll not marry you, sir, and I'll not marry you.
I'll give to you the key to my desk, and you'll have money to your own request,
if you will marry me, dear, if you will marry me.
So I now accept the key to your desk, and I'll have money to my own request,
and I will marry you, sir, and I will marry you.
You love coffee, I love tea, you love money, but you don't love me,
and I'll not marry you, dear, and I'll not marry you.
