An Old Song (continued)
“There was a squire in Eddenburg town”
(continued from previous page)It's not for fight that I came
But friendly for to show
If you give me one kiss from your bonny, bonny bride.
And away from you I'll go.
VII
He took her by the lily-white hand
And by the grass green sleeve
And brought her out of the wedding house
Didn't ask the company's leave
The drums did beat the bugles sound
Most glorious to be seen
With his company dressed in green.
