Cat. #1406 (MFH #949) - As sung by Mary Jo Davis, Fayetteville, Arkansas on
VERSE 1
Tell me one thing, tell me truly
Tell me why you scorn me so
Tell me why when asked a question
You should always answer, no
CHORUS:
No sir, no sir, no sir, no sir
No sir, no sir, no sir, no sir
VERSE 2
My Father was a Spanish merchant
And before he went to sea
Made me promise that I'd answer
No to all you asked of me
VERSE 3
If while walking in th garden
Plucking flowrs, all wet with dew
Tell me would you be offended
If I walked an' talked with you
VERSE 4
And if while walking in th garden
I should ask you to be mine
I should tell you that I love you
Would you then, my heart decline
