BALLAD – ROSE, ROBIN, RICHARD AND CHORUS.
In bygone days I had thy love,
Thou hadst my heart.
But Fate, all human vows above,
Our lives did part!
By the old love thou hadst for me –
By the fond heart that beat for thee –
By joys that never now can be,
Grant thou my prayer!
Grant thou her prayer!
Take her – I yield!
Oh, rapture!
Away to the parson we go –
Say we're solicitous very
That he will turn two into one –
Singing hey, derry down derry!
For she is such a smart little craft –
Such a neat little, sweet little craft –
Such a bright little –
Tight little –
Slight little –
Light little –
Trim little,
prim little craft!
For she is such a smart little craft, etc.
