- (continued from previous page)I’m sure they'll be a match, says the fair haired lad
And when next the pair I catch says the fair haired lad
Its really my intent To have the pair consent
On this I’m fully bent says the fair haired ladI'll have the couple wed, says the fair haired lad
And I'll see them homewards sped, says the fair haired lad
