Green Bill.

Green Bill.
454.3

I will tell you of a fellow.
Of a fellow I have seen;
He is neither white nor yellow,
But is altogether green.
His name it is not charming.
For it’s only common Bill.

Chorus for first, second, and third verse
He urges me to wed him,
But I hardly think I will,
Ob. I hardly think I will;
He urges me to wed him,
But I hardly think I will.

He came one night to sее те,
And he made so long a play
I began to think the blockhead
Never meant to go away;
At first I learned to hate him.
And now i hate him still.

Chorus-
He tells me of a cottage-
Of a cottage ‘mong the trees:
And don’t you think the simpleton
Came rumbling on his knees;
The tears the fellow shed
Were enough to turn a mill,

Chorus-
He speaks of true devotion,
Of devotion pure and deep,
And he talks so very simple.
That I nearly fall asleep
He said It would be pleasant,
As we journey down the hill.
To go hand in hand together,
But I hardly think it will;
Oh, I hardly think it will
To go hand in hand together,
But I hardly think it will.
