- (continued from previous page)Saying I will and I must get married
For the humour is on me now.And then if you'll get married
Will you tell me what you'll do
But quickly then she answered
"I'll do the same as you.
I'll be mistress of my dairy
my buttermilk and my cow"
Saying "I will and I must get married
For the humour is on me now".And then this couple got married
And they had well to do
They lived together and loved each other
A couple a lot to do.
But soon she forgot her dairy
Her buttermilk and her cow
Saying "I'm sorry I even got married
For the humour is off me now".
