A Quaker Girl.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. May 2001.

[Prudence] Oh, a quiet Quaker maid
from my babyhood I've been,

for I never even played
with the children on the green;

but I used to sew and mend,
while my aunt was sitting near,

till a little Quaker friend
came and whispered in my ear:

"Thee loves me, and me loves thee,"
Oh, he was a mischief maker!

Two little sweethearts we used to be,
he was such a dear little Quaker!

Now I'm quite a Quaker girl,
very proper and sedate;

if my hair begins to curl,
I am told to brush it straight.

And the days are very sad,
and the world is very grey,

for there's not a Quaker lad
who will come to me and say:

"Thee loves me, and I love thee,"
None to woo a maid and take her;

Nobody seems to care about me.
Life is very dull for a Quaker!

But although the Quaker men
do not know the way to woo,

I have fancied now and then
there are other men who do!

If I meet with one of these,
then it might be very nice,

when we walk beneath the trees,
and he told me once or twice:

"Thee loves me, and I love thee,"
Love's the only marriage maker;

somebody's wife one day I will be,
But NOT the little wife of a Quaker!
