Friendly Persuasion

Male: Thee I love.   More than the mead-ows so green and still,
More than  the mul-ber-ies on    the hill,
More than  the buds on the may-ap-ple tree,___I love thee.

Arms have I, strong as the oak for this   oc-ca-sion;
Lips have I to kiss thee too, in Friend - ly Per - sua - sion.
Thee is mine, though  I don't know man - y words of praise;
Thee pleas-ures me  in a hun - dred ways,
So put on your bon-net, your cape and your glove____
and come with me,_________For thee I love.

Female: Thee I love.   More than the mead-ows so green and still,
More than  the mul-ber-ies on    the hill,
More than  the buds on the may-ap-ple tree,___I love thee.

Arms have I, ea-ger are they  for this oc-ca-sion;
Lips have I to kiss thee too, in Friend - ly Per - sua - sion.
this I know, thee pleas-ures me in a won-drous way,
Long have I wait - ed to hear thee say,
"Put on your bon-net, your cape and your glove____
and come with me,________For thee I love.

And come with me, for thee I love.  
Oh, come with me, for thee I love.
