And I would marry Johnny, but me father up and said"I'm sorry to tell you daughter, what your mother never knewBut Johnny is a son of mine and so he's kin to you"
Oh, Willie be fair and Willie be fine he wants me for to wedAnd I would marry Willie, but me father up and said"I'm sorry to tell you daughter, what your mother never knewBut Willie too is a son of mine and so he's kin to you"
Oh, Thomas be fair and Thomas be fine he wants me for to wedAnd I would marry Thomas, but me father up and said"I'm sorry to tell you daughter, what your mother never knewBut Thomas is a son of mine and so he's kin to you"
Oh, you never saw a maid so sad and sorry as I wasThe lads in town were all me kin and me father was the causeIf life should thus continue, I will die a single missI think I'll go to mother and complain to her of this
"Oh, daughter, haven't I told you to forgive and to forget?Your father sowed his wild oats, but still you need not fretYour father may be father to all the lads in town, but stillHe's not the one who sired you, so marry whom you will"
