I’m on the other side of the Atlantic from most people who answered. My grandfather, who I lived with as a child for some time, who was born at the end of the 19th C and whose Interest was mediaeval English and German music and poetry, Always sang it like this: Rose, rose, rose, rose Shall I ever see thee red Aye, marry, that thou wilt, An thou but stay. An means if. Marry does not mean marry as in wed It’s absolutely fascinating reading how this song Has evolved over time in the US. And mostly based on homonyms and rhymes
