Thee I love,
more than the meadow so green and still More than the mulberries on the
hill More than the buds of a May apple tree, I love thee
Arms have I,
strong as the oak, for this occasion Lips have I, to kiss thee, too, in
friendly persuasion
Thee is mine, though I don't know many words of
praise Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways Put on your bonnet, your cape,
and your glove And come with me, for thee I love
Friendly persuasion
Thee is mine, though I don't know many
words of praise Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways Put on your bonnet,
your cape, and your glove And come with me, for thee I
love
