Prithee pretty maiden by Gilbert and Sullivan Lyrics

[GROSVENOR]
Prithee, pretty maiden - prithee, tell me true
(Hey, but I'm doleful, willow, willow waly!)
Have you e'er a lover a-dangling after you?
Hey, willow waly O!
I would fain discover
If you have a lover?
Hey, willow waly O!

[PATIENCE]
Gentle sir, my heart is frolicsome and free -
(Hey, but he's doleful, willow, willow waly!)
Nobody I care for comes a-courting me -
Hey, willow waly O!
Nobody I care for
Comes a-courting - therefore
Hey, willow waly O!

[GROSVENOR]
Prithee, pretty maiden, will you marry me?
(Hey, but I'm hopeful, willow, willow waly!)
I may say, at once, I'm a man of propertee -
Hey, willow waly O!
Money, I despise it
Many people prize it
Hey, willow waly O!
[PATIENCE]
Gentle sir, although to marry I design -
(Hey, but he's hopeful, willow, willow waly!)
As yet I do not know you, and so I must decline
Hey, willow waly O!
To other maidens go you -
As yet I do not know you

[BOTH]
Hey, willow waly O!
