Vendor’s Song

My songs to sell, sweet maid!
 
I pray you buy.
 
Here’s one will win a lady’s tears,
 
Here’s one will make her gay,
 
Here’s one will charm your true love true
 
Forever and a day;
 
Good sir, I pray you buy!
 
 
XOh, no, she will not buy.Y
 
 
My songs to sell, sweet maid!
 
I pray you buy.
 
This one will teach you Lilith’s lore,
 
And this what Helen knew,
 
And this will keep your gold hair gold,
 
And this your blue eyes blue;
 
Sweet maid, I pray you buy!
 
 
Oh, no, she will not buy.
 
 
If I’d as much money as I could tell,
 
I never would cry my songs to sell.
 
I never would cry my songs to sell.
