TELL ME PRETTY MAIDEN LADIES LYRICS

MEN
Oh tell me, pretty maiden,
Are there any more at home like you?
LADIES
There are a few, kind sir,
But simple girls, and proper too.
MEN
Then tell me pretty maiden
What these very simple girlies do.
Then tell me pretty maiden
What these very simple girlies do.
The take a little walk with me
And then I can see
What a most particular girl should be
LADIES
Kind sir, their manners are perfection
And the opposite of mine.
I may love you too well to let you go
And flirt with those at home, you know
MEN
Well, don't mind little girl, You'll see
I only want but you.
LADIES
It's not quite fair to them
If you told them that you were true
MEN
I won't care a pin for your sisters if you love me
LADIES
What would you say if I said I liked you well?
MEN
I'd vow to you
LADIES
On bended knee
MEN
on bended knee
LADIES
If I loved you would you tell me what I ought to do
To keep you all mine alone to always be true to me?
If I loved you would it be a silly thing to do?
For I must love someone
MEN
Then why not me?
LADIES
Yes, I must love someone, really. And it might as well be you!
Tell me gentle stranger, Are there any more at home like you?
MEN
There are a few sweet maid, And hotter boys you never knew.
LADIES
Then tell me gentle sir, The things very rakish fellows do
