Here's what I could pick out, it's a 1937 recording by Elsie Carlisle and is part of a medley: No, no a thousand times no You cannot buy my caress No, no a thousand times no I'd rather die than say yes I am a child of the valley (indistinct lyric)...the maiden you see He was a desperate Desmond Who owned all the town property He would pursue me through hill and through dells I and I was just wise to his game Each time he would threaten "You'll wed me or else" These are the words I'd explain No, no, a thousand times no You cannot buy my caress No, no a thousand times no I'd rather die than say yes! Hope this is helpful. A friend believes he may have the sheet music, and will try and look it out this afternoon for more of the words.
