Cakes and Ale

I gave her cakes; I gave her ale,
I gave her sack and sherry;
I kissed her once, I kissed her twice,
And we were wondrous merry.

I gave her beads and bracelets fine,
And I gave her gold down derry;
I thought she was afeard till she stroked my beard,
And we were wondrous merry.

Merry my heart, merry my cocks, merry my sprights,
Merry my hey down derry;
I kissed her once and I kissed her twice,
And we were wondrous merry.

I gave her cakes; I gave her ale,
I gave her sack and sherry;
I kissed her once, I kissed her twice,
And we were wondrous merry.

I gave her beads and bracelets fine,
And I gave her gold down derry;
I thought she was afeard till she stroked my beard,
And we were wondrous merry.

Merry my heart, merry my cocks, merry my sprights,
Merry my hey down derry;
I kissed her once and I kissed her twice,
And we were wondrous merry.
