Says the proud King of France,
If England you do win,
My daughter you shall marry,
And that is a fine thing!
O no! O no! says Charlie,
I'll not venture my sweet life;
For if I am killed,
I've no need of a wife.
O no, no! &c.
Should I venture my sweet life
Into the Lion's paw,
It's all for the being of
A King's Son-in-law;
While the jolly hearts of British boys
My life they would destroy,
While I an pursuing
Those rights to enjoy.
O no, no! &c.
But now I am a-going
To fair Italy,
Where the face of a Britainer
I never with to see;
If your Daughter never get married
Till Old England I invade,
She may die an old maid,
Without a tooth in her head!
O no, no! &c.
