Will You Come And Marry Me
Irish Rovers · Boys Of Belfast: A Collection Of Irish Favorites [2003]
Lassie I'm a solder bold
Just come from Germany
King gave me a pension grant
Will you come and marry me?
No kind sir
I have a lad who will always be true
He'll be home each night to hold me tight,
so I cannot marry you
Wil tur ai ya falli didle da
whack filla do ay ya
Wil tur ai ya falli didle da
Remmi addi to dad dum do ah ya
Lassie I'm sailor brave
I cross the raging sea
I have 3 ships at my command
Will you come and marry me?
No kind sir
I have a lad who loves me through and through
Our wedding's day's not far away.
So I cannot marry you
Wil tur ai ya falli didle da
whack filla do ay ya
Wil tur ai ya falli didle da
Remmi addi to dad dum do ah ya
Lassie I'm of royal blood
Man of high degree
I give you gold and jewels
If you come and marry me!
No kind sir,
I've pledge my love and soon I'll say I do,
I settled on my true love john
so I cannot marry you
Wil tur ai ya falli didle da
whack filla do ay ya
Wil tur ai ya falli didle da
Remmi addi to dad dum do ah ya
Lassie a plow boy poor
With dirt up to my knees
I'm not rich or a famous man
Why would you marry me?
Because kind sir you lay with me
And now a child is due
You've had your way, its time to pay,
That's why I'll marry you
Wil tur ai ya falli didle da
whack filla do ay ya
Wil tur ai ya falli didle da
Remmi addi to dad dum do ah ya
