There's not a swain on the plain
Would be bless'd like me oh
Could you but
Could you but
Could you but on me smile
But you appear so severe
That trembling with fear
My heart goes pit- a- pat
Pit- a- pat pit- a- pat all the while
There's not a swain on the plain
Would be bless'd like me oh
Could you but
Could you but
Could you but on me smile
But you appear so severe
That trembling with fear
My heart goes pit- a- pat
Pit- a- pat pit- a- pat all the while
When I cry must I die
You make no reply but look shy
And with a scornful eye
Kill me by your cruelty
Oh can you be
Can you be
Can you be
Can you be
Can you be
Can you be
Can you be
Oh could be
Can you be so hard to me
When I cry must I die
You make no reply but look shy
And with a scornful eye
Kill me by your cruelty
Oh can you be
Can you be
Can you be
Can you be
Can you be
Can you be
Can you be
Can you can you
Can you be so hard to me
