Prithee, my dear sweet heart, Don't climb into our yard, Not break the willow branch! It's not for the branch I care; My parents are o'er there! You are deep in my heart, But what my parents say Will worry me all day.
Prithee, my dear sweet heart, Don't steal into our yard, Nor break the mulberry branch! It's not for the branch I care; My brothers are all there! You are deep in my heart, But what my brothers say Will worry me all day.
Prithee, my dear sweet heart, Don't jump into our yard, Nor break the sandal branch. It's not for the branch I care; My kith and kin are there! You are deep in my heart, But what my family say Will worry me all day.
