NO SIR

Tell me, will you tell me truly
Tell me, why you scorn me so
Tell me, why whene'er I ask you
Why you always answer no?

no sir, no sir, no sir
No-o-o-o-o sir
No sir, no sir,
No sir, no

My father was a Spanish merchant
And before he went to sea
Told me to be sure ans answer
No to all you said to me

If when walking in the garden
Plucking flowers all wet with dew
Tell me, would you fe offended
If I walked and talked to you?

If when walking in the garden
I should ask you to be mine
And should tell you that I loved you
Would you them my heart decline?

In the garden we were sitting
And her blushes she did show
Tell me would you be offended
If one kiss I did bestow?

Madam, may I tie your garter
Would you let me make so free
If I should be a little bolder
Would you think it wrong of me?

If to bed we went together
I would stay till cocks do crow
Whe I'd say: It's time to leave you
Would you ever let me go?
