Work rating: Low

[HE.]  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!

[SHE.]  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!

[HE.]  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,
But many people prize it,
Hey, willow waly O!

[SHE.]  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,
Hey, willow waly O!
