The smiles on her face gave additional charm,

And caused you to call her a fairy.

Now a spruce young clerk was out for a ride,

And happened to come across Mary;

Said he to himself, “I will make her my bride,

And make her keep me with her dairy.”

But altho’ she was rustic, and simple as well,

As proud as a queen was our Mary;

Tho’ her bonny blue eyes of mischief could tell,

The sequel will show she was wary.
