    (continued from previous page)
    To wash the plates and cook the dinner,
    For I’ll not marry, marry, marry, marry,
    I’ll not marry you.
    VII
    I’ll give to you the keys of my chest,
    And all my money at your request,
    If you will marry, marry, marry, marry,
    Oh if you will marry me.

    VIII
    If you give to me the keys of your chest,
    And all your money at my request,
    Oh sure I will marry, marry, marry, marry,
    Oh sure I will marry you.
    IX
    Ha! Ha! Ha!, the money does it all
    Sure I won’t marry you at all.
