Some men desire spouses
That come of noble houses
And some would have in marriage
Ladies of courtly carriage
Fa la la
But few desire as I do
The maidenhead of a widow
Fa la la
Some think fair youth will cherish
Strength that begins to perish
I’ll have no colts to taming
Let me be young'st at gaming
Fa la la
I’ll get, or I’ll go nigh too
The Maidenhead of a widow
Fa la la
That come of noble houses
And some would have in marriage
Ladies of courtly carriage
Fa la la
But few desire as I do
The maidenhead of a widow
Fa la la
Some think fair youth will cherish
Strength that begins to perish
I’ll have no colts to taming
Let me be young'st at gaming
Fa la la
I’ll get, or I’ll go nigh too
The Maidenhead of a widow
Fa la la
