Keys of Canterbury
Oscar Brand & Jean Ritchie
Elektra

Madam I will give to you the keys of Canterbury
And all the bells of London town to ring and make you merry
If you will be my darling, my joy and my dear
If you will go a-walking with me anywhere

Sir I'll not accept from you the keys of Canterbury
Though all the bells of London should ring and make us merry
And I'll not be your bride, your joy and your dear
And I'll not take a walk with you anywhere

Madam I will give to you a pair of boots of cork
O, one was made in London and the other made in York
If you will be my darling, my joy and my dear
If you will go a-walking with me anywhere

Well, Sir I'll not accept from you a pair of boots of cork
Though one was made in London and the other made in York
And I'll not be your bride, your joy nor your dear
And I'll not take a walk with you anywhere

Madam I will give to you the keys to me heart
And all my secret promises that we shall never part
If you will be my darling, my joy and my dear
If you will go a-walking with me anywhere

O Sir I will accept from you the keys to your heart
To lock it up forever that we never more may part
And I will be your bride, your joy and your dear
And I will take a walk with you anywhere
