Kitty, my love, will you marry me?
Language: English
I ha'e a wee brig o' praties, An' I ha'e a liggat o' meal, An' I ha'e a pig in the corner, An' he's tied to a tuppenny nail. O! Kitty, my love, will you marry me? Either say Yes or say No, O! I ha'e a goose that is hatchin', Her goose eggs are under the bed, An' I ha'e a goat that is grazing High up on the tops o' the hedge, O! Kitty, my love, will you marry me? Either say Yes or say No, O! I ha'e a ballad, a ballad, It's all about Kitty, my dear. An' I ha'e my granny's oul' cradle That she bid me rock in a year. O! Kitty, my love, will you marry me? Either say Yes or say No, O!
