Lady On The Mountain
There stands a lady on the mountain,Who she is I cannot tell.All she wants is gold and silver,All she wants is a nice young man.Madam, will you walk it?Madam, will you talk it?Madam, will you marry me?
No!
Not if I buy you the keys of Heaven?Not if I buy you a coach and chair?Not if I buy you a comb of silverTo place in your bonny, bonny hair?
No!
