Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFFGGAB HBGGII JJEEHB| We have come the primrose way | A |
| Folly thou and I | B |
| Such a glamor and a grace | C |
| Ever glimmered on thy face | C |
| Ever such a witchery | D |
| Lit the laughing eyes of thee | E |
| Could a fool like me withstand | F |
| Folly's feast and beckoning hand | F |
| Drinking how thy lips' caress | G |
| Spiced the cup of waywardness | G |
| So we came the primrose way | A |
| Folly thou and I | B |

| But now Folly we must part | H |
| Folly thou and I | B |
| Shall one look with mirth or tears | G |
| Back on all his wasted years | G |
| Purposes dissolved in wine | I |
| Pearls flung to the heedless swine | I |
| - | |
| Idle days and nights of mirth | J |
| Were they pleasures nothing worth | J |
| Well there's no gainsaying we | E |
| Squandered youth right merrily | E |
| But now Folly we must part | H |
| Folly thou and I | B |
