wilt thou be my dearie?

tune—“the sutor's dochter.”

wilt thou be my dearie?

when sorrow wring thy gentle heart,

o wilt thou let me cheer thee!

by the treasure of my soul,

that's the love i bear thee:

i swear and vow that only thou

shall ever be my dearie!

only thou, i swear and vow,

shall ever be my dearie!
