 For good luck or bad luck I'd never fear, For I am resolv'd to be marry'd this year.

O stay John, stay John, why in such a haste! I will be your true love as long as life lasts, For good luck or bad luck then I'll never fear, For I am resolv'd to be marry'd this year.

Then all things in order we will provide, And in less than ten days I'll make you my bride, Then the bells shall ring, and music play clear, For John and Susan are marry'd this year.

friends all declare that my time is mispent, while in rural retirement I rove, I ask no more wealth than dame Fortune has sent, but the sweet little girl that I love.

Chor. The sweet little girl that I love, The rose on her cheek's my delight; She's soft as the down, as the down on the dove, No lily's so white as the sweet little girl that I love,

Tho' humble my cot, calm content gilds the scene, for my fair one delights in my grove; And a palace I'd quit for a dance on the green, with the sweet little girl that I love. The, etc.

No ambition I know but to call her my own, no same but her praise wish to prove; My happiness centers in Fanny alone, she's the sweet little girl that I love. The, etc.
