Hi,

Here's another "she answered No" song made of primarily from stanzas of Madam:

"Oh No, No Sir, No!" Collected from Mrs. Mary Brown by Bayard in 1929 in Greene County, Pennsylvania.

1. Yonder sits a lovelye creature,
Who she is I do not know;
I'll step up and court her favor,
Let her answer Yes or No.
CHORUS: Oh, no, no, sir, no!
Always to answer the young men no.

2. Madam, I have come a-courting,
And if your favor I can gain,
And if you'll highly entertain me,
Then perhaps I'll come again.
CHORUS:

3. Madam, I have gold and silver,
Madam, I have house and land;
Madam, I have this world's pleasures,
And all shall be at your command.
CHORUS:

4. What care I for gold and silver,
What care I for house and land?
What care I for this world's pleasures?
All I want is a handsome man.
CHORUS:

5. My father was a Spanish merchant,
Where he is I do not know;
Before he left me, he made me promise
To always answer the young men No.
CHORUS:

6. Madam, if you were to live single,
Say, perhaps, one year or two,
Madam, would you be offended
If I should offer my hand to you?
CHORUS (emphatically)

7. As we sit together talking,
The north wind began to blow;
I saw the rising sun approaching
And I said, "Dear madam, I must go."
CHORUS:

* * * *
