Would'st could I but kiss thy hand oh babe, oh babe
Dost thou know I think thee grand oh babe, oh babe
Alas, but how my heart is throbbin'
Thou hast set me off my noggin'
Would'st could I but kiss thy hand, oh babe
Canst thou see in love I be
Would'st thou come and cut a tapestry with me
Dost thou heed my little plea
Thou art the only one for me
Ah, would'st could I but kiss thy hand oh babe
A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou, oh babe
Dost thou know I think thee fine, and how, oh babe
I am thy knight in shining armo
Wilst thou be my pretty mommo
Would'st could I but kiss thy hand, oh babe
Dost thou dig, oh dost thou dig
For the other maids I carest not a fig
Dost thou know that I'm thy fellow
You is stuff and you is mellow
Would'st could I but kiss thy hand, oh babe
