Thank you, Monique! Translation of the alternate version: My father means to marry me To an old man he's given me Who has not a penny to spare When he goes to the market or the fair Never a thing does he bring me But a stick from an apple tree If he beats me I'll run away I'll go down to the woods to play With the boys from the school They'll teach me and I'll teach them too The game of cards, the game of dice The game of love after supper time
