GREEN GRASS |
*57 |

|
You shall have a duck, my dear,
And you shall have a swan, And you shall have a nice young man
A waiting for to come.
Suppose he were to die
And leave his wife a widow, Come all ye pretty fair maids,
Come clap your hands together!
Will you come ?
No!
Naughty man, he won't come out,
He won't come out, he won't come out,
Naughty man, he won't come out, To help us in our dancing.
Will you come ? Yes!
Now we've got our bonny lad,
Our bonny lad, our bonny lad, Now we've got our bonny lad,
To help us in our dancing.
—Middlesex (Miss Collyer).
VIII. Stepping on the green grass
Thus, and thus, and thus; Please may we have a pretty lass
To come and play with us ? We will give you pots and pans,
We will give you brass,
No!
We will give you anything For a bonny lass.
No!
We will give you gold and silver,
We will give you pearl, We will give you anything
For a pretty girl. |
