1. |
He promised to bring me a trinket to please me,
And then for a smile, oh, he vowed he would tease me.
He promised to buy me a bunch of blue ribbons,
To tie up my bonnie brown hair.

He promised to bring me a basket of posies
A garland of lilies, a gift of red roses,
A little straw hat to set off the blue ribbons,
That tie up my bonnie brown hair.
