Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 4

PAPER OF PINS.

I'll give to you a paper of pins,
If you will tell me how our love begins,
If you marry, if you marry,
If you many me.

I'll not accept a paper of pins,
To tell you how our love begins,
Nor I'll not many, marry, marry,
Nor I'll not marry you.

I'll give to you a pink silk gown,
With golden laces hanging round,
If you marry, if you marry,
If you marry me.

I'll not accept the pink silk gown,
With golden laces hanging round.
Nor I'll not many, marry, marry,
Nor I'll not many you.

I'll give to you a dress of green,
That you may be my fairy queen,
If you marry, if you marry,
If you marry me.

I'll not accept your dress of green,
That I may be your fairy queen,
Nor I'll not marry, marry, marry,
Nor I'll not many you.

I'll give to you a little lap dog,
To take with you when you go abroad,
If you many, if you marry,
If you marry me.

I'll not accept your little lap dog,
To take with me when I go abroad,
Nor I'll not marry, marry, marry,
Nor I'll not marry you.

I'll give to you the key of my heart,
That we may love and never part,
If you marry, if you marry,
If you marry me.

I'll not accept the key of your heart,
That we may love and never part,
Nor I'll not marry, marry, marry,
Nor I'll not many you.

I'll give to you the key of my chest,
That you may have money at your request,
If you many, if you marry,
If you marry me.

Yes! I'll accept the key of your chert.

That I'll have money at my request;
I will marry I will marry,
I will marry you

Ha! ha' ha money is an,
Woman's love is none at all;
And I'll not many, marry, marry.
And I'll not marry you.
