Paper and Pins Songtext
von The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem

I'll give to you a paper of pins
If that's the way that love begins
if you will marry marry marry marry
if you will marry me

Well I don't want your paper of pins
if that's the way that love begins
For I won't marry marry marry marry
I won't marry you

I'll give to you a golden ball
to bounce from the kitchen into the hall
if you will marry marry marry marry
if you marry me

I don't want a golden ball
to bounce from the kitchen into the hall
For I won't marry marry marry marry
I won't marry you


I'll give to you a rocking chair
to sit in the garden and take fresh air
if you will marry marry marry marry
if you marry me

I don't want a rocking chair
to sit in the garden and take fresh air
For I won't marry marry marry marry
I won't marry you

I'll give to you a silver spoon
to feed the baby in the afternoon
if you will marry marry marry marry
if you marry me

I don't want a silver spoon
to feed the baby in the afternoon
For I won't marry marry marry marry
I won't marry you

I'll give to you the keys to the chest
and all the money that I possess
if you will marry marry marry marry
if you marry me


If you give me the keys to the chest
and all the money that you possess
then I will marry marry marry marry
I will marry you

Ha-ha-ha now I see
you love my money but you don't love me
but I'd not marry marry marry marry
I'd not marry you
