With joy she took that blessed vow,
She’s Simon’s wife forever now;
So ring their wedding bells.
(Simon uncovers his face and says in a heart broken tone): Couldn’t you toll the bells? But I don’t want to make no trouble. I don’t feel like arguin’, ring ’em if you drather, ring ’em if you feel like it. (They pay no attention to him. and he covers his face with his handkerchief again and weeps aloud; they turn to the audience and sing):
Good night, and pleasant dreams,
Hearts full of sunny gleams;
Good night, and happy dreams,
And ring ye merry bells.
