Come write me down

You powers above

The man that first created love

For I've a diamond in my eye

Wherein all my joys and comforts lie

Wherein all my joys and comforts lie

I will give you gold

I will give you pearl

If you can fancy me dear girl

Rich costly robes that you shall wear

If you could fancy me my dear

If you could fancy me my dear

It's not your gold shall me entice

To leave off pleasures to be a wife

For I don't mean or intend at all

To be at any young man's call

To be at any young man's call

Or go your way

You scornful dame

Since you've proved false

I'll prove the same

For I shall see but I shall find

Some other fair maid to my mind

Some other fair maid to my mind

Oh stay young man don't be in haste

You seem afraid your time will waste

Let reason rule your roving mind

And unto you I will prove kind

And unto you I will prove kind

So to church they went the very next day

And were married by asking

As I've heard say

And now that girl she is his wife

She will prove his comforts day and night

She will prove his comforts day and night
