Grosvenor.
Prithee, pretty maiden — prithee,
tell me true,
(Hey, but I'm doleful, willow willow waly!) Have you e'er a lover a-dangling after you? Hey willow waly O! I would fain discover If you have a lover! Hey willow waly O! Patience.
Gentle sir, my heart is frolicsome and free — (Hey, but he's doleful, willow willow waly!) Nobody I care for comes a-courting me — Hey willow waly O! Nobody I care for Comes a-courting — therefore, Hey willow waly O!
|
Grosvenor. |
Prithee, pretty maiden, will you marry me? (Hey, but I'm hopeful, willow willow waly!) I may say, at once, I'm a man of propertee — Hey willow waly O! Money, I despise it; Many people prize it, Hey willow waly O! |
Patience. |
Gentle Sir, although to marry I design — (Hey, but he's hopeful, willow willow waly!) As yet I do not know you, and so I must decline. Hey willow waly O! To other maidens go you — As yet I do not know you, |
Both. |
Hey willow waly O! |
