| Lyrics: | COLIN AND PHOEBE
Well, well, dearest Phoebe, and why in such haste?
Through the
fields and meadows all day I have chased.
In search of the fair one who doth me
disdain.
And who will reward me?
And who will reward me for all my past
pain.
Go, go, boldest Colin, how dare you be seen
With a burden like me and not
scarcely sixteen?
To be seen with the fair one, I am so afraid
That the world will soon
call me
That the world will soon call me: no longer a maid.
Never mind what the
world say for it all proves a lie
We are not alone there's a couple hard by
Let them judge
of our actions, be you cheerful, my dear
For no harm is intended
For no harm is intended
to my Phoebe I swear.
Say, say, boldest Colin, and say what you will
You may swear, lie
and flatter, and prove your best skill
And before I will be conquered, I will let you to
know
That I will die a virgin
That I will die a virgin, so I pray let me
go
Come, come, dearest Phoebe, such thoughts I now have
I come here to see if
tomorrow you'd wed
But since you so slighted me, I will bid you adieu
And will go seek
some other girl
And will go seek some other girl more kinder than you
Stay, stay,
dearest Colin, just one moment stay
I will venture to wed if you mean what you say
Let
tomorrow first come love, and in church you will find
that the girl you thought cruel
that
the girl you thought cruel will always prove kind.
