Velvet, I can wish you

or the collar of your coat

And fortune smiling all along your way

But more I cannot wish you

Then to wish you find your love

Your own true love this day

Mansions, I can wish you

Seven footmen all in red

And calling cards upon a silver tray

But more I cannot wish you

Then to wish you find your love

Your own true love this day

Standing there

Gazing at you

Full of the bloom of youth


Standing there

Gazing at you

With the sheep's eye

And the lickerish tooth

Music, I can wish you

Merry music while you're young

And wisdom, when your hair has turned to gray

But more I cannot wish you

Then to wish you find your love

Your own true love this day
With the sheep's eye

And the lickerish tooth


And the strong arms

To carry you away
