Madam I Have Gold and Silver

Cat. #1177 (MFH #470) - As sung by O.B. Campbell, Vinita, Oklahoma on August 9, 1971

VERSE 1
Yonder comes a Heavenly creature
Who she be, I do not know
I'll go an' court her for her beauty
Whether she says, yes or no
No, no, no sir no,
All her answers to me were no

VERSE 2
Madam, I have gold an' silver
Madam, I have a house an' land
Madam, I have a world of pleasures
All I want is your right hand
No, no, no sir no
All her answers to me were no

VERSE 3
What do I care for your gold an' silver
What do I care for your house and land
What do I care for your world of pleasures
All I want's a hansome man
No, no, no sir, no
All her answers t' me were no
