Paper of Pins
Traditional Song
I'll give to you a paper of pins,
To show you how my love begins,
If you'll marry, marry me,
If you'll marry me.
I won't accept a paper of pins,
To show me how our love begins,
No, I'll not marry you,
No, I'll not marry you.
I'll give to you a pair of gloves
The inside silk and the outside love
If you'll marry, marry me,
If you'll marry me.
I won't accept a pair of gloves
The inside silk and the outside love
No, I'll not marry you,
No, I'll not marry you.
I'll give to you the keys to my heart,
So we can walk and never part,
If you'll marry, marry me,
If you'll marry me.
I won't accept the keys to your heart,
So we can walk and never part,
No, I'll not marry you,
No, I'll not marry you.
I'll give to you the keys to my chest,
So you can have money at your request,
If you'll marry, marry me,
If you'll marry me.
I will accept the keys to your chest,
So I can have money at my request,
Yes, I'll marry, marry you,
Yes, I'll marry you.
But, maybe I'll see that money is all
My love means nothing at all,
No, I'll not marry you,
No, I'll not marry you.
Thanks!
