THERE WAS A LITTLE MAN. |

2. The little maid replied, Little Sir! you've little said
To induce a little maiden to wed, wed,wed; You must say a little more, And produce a little store,
Ere I to the church will be led, led, led.
3. The little man replied,
If you'll be my little bride, I will raise my little note a little higher; Though I've little for to prate, Yet my little heart is great, By the little God of Love,I am on fire. |
4. The little maid replied, If I be your little bride,
Pray what would you give me to eat, eat, eat ?
Would the flame that you're so rich in,
Put a fire into the kitchen, Or the little God of Love stir the spit, spit, spit.
5. The little man replied, And, some say, a little cried,
For his little heart was filled with sorrow;
With the little that I have,
I will be your little slave, And the rest my little dear we will borrow. |

Thus did the little gent,
Make the little maid relent, For her little heart began to beat, beat, beat;
Though his offers were but small,
She accepted of them all, Now she thanks her little stars for her fate, fate, fate. |
