I'll give to you a paper of pins,
If that's the way that love begins,
If you will marry, marry, marry, marry,
If you will marry me.

Well, I don't want your paper of pins,
If that's the way that love begins,
for I won't marry, marry, marry, marry,
I won't marry you.

I'll give to you a golden ball
To bounce from the kitchen to the hall,
If you will marry, marry, marry, marry,
If you will marry me.

I don't want your golden ball,
To bounce from the kitchen to the hall,
For I won't marry, marry, marry, marry,
I won't marry you.

I'll give to you a rocking chair
To sit in the garden and take fresh air
If you will marry, marry, marry, marry,
If you will marry me.

I don't want your rocking chair,
To sit in the garden and take fresh air,
For I won't marry, marry, marry, marry,
I won't marry you.

I'll give to you a silver spoon,
To feed the baby in the afternoon,
If you will marry, marry, marry, marry,
If you will marry me.

I don't want your silver spoon,
To feed the baby in the afternoon,
For I won't marry, marry, marry, marry,
I won't marry you.

I'll give to you the keys of the chest,
And all the money that I possess,
If you will marry, marry, marry, marry,
You will marry me.

If you'll give me the keys of the chest,
And all the money that you possess,
Then I will marry, marry, marry, marry,
I will marry you.

Ah ha ha now I see,
You love my money but you don't love me,
And I'll not marry, marry, marry, marry,
I'll not marry you.

I'll give to you a paper of pins,
For that's the way true love begins,

I won't accept your paper of pins,
If that's the way true love begins,

I'll give to you a soft easy chair,
To sit and comb your pretty hair,

I won't accept your soft easy chair,
To sit and comb my pretty hair,

I'll give to you a pure silver spoon,
To feed your babe this afternoon,

I won't accept your pure silver spoon,
To feed my babe this afternoon,

I'll give to you a fine dress of green,
To make you look like a real queen,

I won't accept your fine dress of green,
To make me look like a real queen,

I'll give to you a diamond so bright,
To light your way in dark of night,

I won't accept your diamond so bright,
To light my way in dark of night,

I'll give to you the key to my chest,
So you'll have gold at your request,

I won't accept the key of your chest,
So I'll have gold at my request,

I'll give to you the key to my heart,
That we may love and never part,

Yes, I'll accept the key to your heart,
That we may love and never part,
