GUEST,Lindswidder Lyr Req: No! No! A Thousand Times No! (L Sarony) (15) RE: Lyr Req: Leslie Sarony's 'Years x 3' + 'No x 1000 18 Apr 04


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.
