Love will ye marry me, marry me, marry me?
Love will ye marry me and take me out of danger?
No I won't marry you, marry you, marry you
No I won't marry you, for why you are a stranger

Why didn't ye tell me so, why didn't ye tell me so?
Why didn't ye tell me so before ye did the harm?
What harm did I do, what harm did I do?
What harm did I do, I rolled ye in me arms

repeat 1st verse

Why didn't ye tell me so, why didn't ye tell me so
Why didn't ye tell me so, what could have delayed ye?
How could I tell ye so, how could I tell ye so
For if I did, dee diddly dow, I never could have gained ye
