If You Will Marry Me
Traditional Glasgow street song
Oh I'll gie you a dress o' red.
A' stitched roon' wi' a silver thread,
If you will marry, arry, arry, arry,
If you will marry me.
Oh, I'll no' tak your dress o' red,
A' stitched roon' wi' a silver thread,
An' I'll no marry, arry, arry, arry,
An' I'll no marry you.
Well, I'll gie you a silver spoon
Tae feed the wean in the afternoon,
If you will marry, arry, arry, arry,
If you will marry me.
Oh I'll no' tak your silver spoon,
Tae feed the wean in the aftemoon,
An' I'll no marry, arry, arry, arry,
An' I'll no marry you.
Well I'll gie you the keys o' my chest,
An' a' the money that 1 possess,
If you will marry, arry, arry, arry,
If you will marry me.
Oh yes I'll tak the keys o' your chest,
An' a' the money that you possess,
I will marry, arry, any, any,
An' I will marry you.
Oh ma Goad, ye're helluva' funny,
Ye dinna love me but ye love my money,
An' I'll no marry, arry, arry, arry,
I'll no marry you!
