Tarry Trousers

Understand superb little maiden
Who she is I do not know
I'll go in court of fortune
Be a tell if to answer yes or no

Pretty little girl of gold and riches
Pretty little girl I've house and lands
Pretty little girl of worldly treasures
All will be at your commands

What do I care for your gold and riches
What do I care for your house and lands
What do I care for your worldly treasures
All I want is a nice young man

My love wears the terry trousers
My love wears a jacket blue
My love sail upon the ocean
So young lad, away with you
My love wears the terry trousers
My love wears a jacket blue
My love sail upon the ocean
So young lad, away with you

Why do I wish for so much beauty
It's a flower that must decay
Like the rose that blooms in summer
When winter comes it fades away

What do I care for your gold and riches
What do I care for your house and lands
What do I care for your worldly treasures
All I want is a nice young man

My love wears the terry trousers
My love wears a jacket blue
My love sail upon the ocean
So young lad, away with you
My love wears the terry trousers
My love wears a jacket blue
My love sail upon the ocean
So young lad, away with you
