And we shall be as happy As a bird upon a tree.
The wife makes the pudding,
And she makes it nice and soft—
In comes the husband and cuts a slice off.
Tas-el-um, Tos-el-um, don't say Nay,
For next Monday morning shall be our wedding day;
The wife in the carriage,
The husband in the cart.
—Hampshire (from friend of Miss Mendham).
II. All the boys in our town Leads a happy life, Excepting [Charley Allen], And he wants a wife; And a-courting he shall go Along with [girl's name], Because he loves her so.
He kisses her, he cuddles her,
He sets her on his knee,
And says, My dearest darling,
Do you love me ?
I love you and you love me;
We'll both be as happy
As birds on the tree.
Alice made a pudding,
She made it nice and sweet,
Up came Charley, cut a slice off—
A slice, a slice, we don't say No;
The next Monday morning the wedding goes
(or u is our wedding day "). I've got knives and forks, I've got plates and dishes, I've got a nice young man, He breaks his heart with kisses.
If poor Alice was to die,
Wouldn't poor Charley, he would cry. |
