A Book of Nursery Songs and Rhymes/Rosy Apple

IX. ROSY APPLE

 

Rosy apple, mellow pear,
Bunch of roses she shall wear;
Gold and silver by her side,
She shall be my bonny bride.

Take her by the lily-white hand,
Lead her over sea and land,
Give her kisses, one, two, three,
This shall be true love to me.
