Kitty, my love, will you marry me?

H. Hughes

I ha'e a wee brig o' praties,

An' I ha'e a liggat o' meal,

An' I ha'e a pig in the corner,

An' he's tied to a tuppenny nail.

O! Kitty, my love, will you marry me?

Either say Yes or say No, O!

I ha'e a goose that is hatchin',

Her goose eggs are under the bed,

An' I ha'e a goat that is grazing

High up on the tops o' the hedge,

O! Kitty, my love, will you marry me?

Either say Yes or say No, O!

I ha'e a ballad, a ballad,

It's all about Kitty, my dear.

An' I ha'e my granny's oul' cradle

That she bid me rock in a year.

O! Kitty, my love, will you marry me?

Either say Yes or say No, O!
