Will You Marry Me Now?
One morning a young man
was playing piano,
when he saw a fair maid
listening behind.
He said to this fair maid,
"If you do not mind,
I will play you
a song this fine morning"
The young maid she told a sorrowful tale
How her parents were wicked
and forced her to marry.
And she had just left
on that very same morn
then the young man he turned and he told her
"Won't you marry me now?
And I will look after you always.
Oh won't you marry me now?
And I will look after you always."
The young man
he took this fair maid by the hand
he said, "Come with me now
to a far away land"
For he had a plan that the two could be free
to seek out their fortunes together.
They boarded a ship that would take them away
and she clung to his arm
as the ship it did sway.
When he held her and told her to not be afraid
she had felt that her troubles were over.
Won't you marry me now?
And I will look after you always.
Oh won't you marry me now?
And I will look after you always.
The two fell in love
on first sight, soon settled down
and in no time at all,
heard the wedding bells sound.
They started a union
and they knew it would last.
They would treasure the time of their meeting.
When one morning a young man
was playing piano
when he saw a fair maid
listening behind.
He said to this fair maid,
"If you do not mind,
I will play you a song
this fine morning."
Won't you marry me now?
And I will look after you always.
Oh won't you marry me now?
And I will look after you always.
Oh won't you marry me now?
And I will look after you always.
Oh won't you marry me now?
And I will look after you always.
