Oh Fredrica, I would give to you the keys of Canterbury
And all the bells in Wales will ring to make us merry
If you will be my joy, my sweet and only dear
And walk along with me anywhere

Oh MrChicken, I shan't accept of you the keys of Canterbury
Nor all the bells in Wales won't ring to make us merry
I will not be your joy, your sweet and only dear
Nor walk along with you anywhere

Oh Fredrica, I would give to you a bright red silken gown
With nine yards a-trailing and a-drooping on the ground
If you will be my joy, my sweet and only dear
And walk along with me anywhere

Oh MrChicken, I shan't accept of you a bright red silken gown
With nine yards a-trailing and a-drooping on the ground
I will not be your joy, your sweet and only dear
Nor walk along with you anywhere

Oh Fredrica, I would give to you a little silver bell (Ring)
To ring for all your servants
That they might serve you well (Ring)
If you will be my joy, my sweet and only dear
And walk along with me anywhere

Oh MrChicken, I shan't accept of you a little silver bell (Ring)
To ring for all my servants, that they might serve me well (Ring)
I will not be your joy, your sweet and only dear
Nor walk along with you anywhere

Oh Fredrica, I would give to you the keys to my heart
But keep them forever, and we will never part
If you will be my joy, my sweet and only dear
And walk along with me anywhere

Oh MrChicken, I shall accept of you the keys to your heart
And keep them forever, and never shall we part
And I will be your joy, your sweet and only dear
And walk along with you anywhere

Mrchicken: I'll swim and sail on savage seas
With never a fear of drowning
And gladly ride the waves of life
If you would marry me
No scorching sun nor freezing cold
Will stop me on my journey
If you will promise me your heart

And love....

Fredrica: And love me for eternity
My dearest one, my darling dear
Your mighty words astound me
But I've no need for mighty deeds
When I feel your arms around me

Mrchicken: But I would bring you rings of gold
I'd even sing you poetry
And I would keep you from all harm
If you would stay beside me

Fredrica: I have no use for rings of gold
I care not for your poetry
I only want your hand to hold
I only want you near me

Mrchicken and Fredrica in unison: To love and kiss to sweetly hold
For the dancing and the dreaming
Through all life's sorrows
And delights
I'll keep your laugh inside me
I'll swim and sail a savage seas
With never a fear of drowning
I'd gladly ride the waves so white
And you will marry me!
