| And thou shalt have fabric as fair as a dream | B |
| The red of my veins and the white of my love | E |
| And the gold of my joy for the braiding thereof | E |

| And feast upon strawberries sugar and cream | B |
| From a service of silver with jewels agleam | B |
| At thy feet will I bide at thy beck will I rise | F |
| And twinkle my soul in the night of thine eyes | F |

| Curly Locks Curly Locks wilt thou be mine | A |
| Thou shalt not wash the dishes nor yet feed the swine | A |
| But sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam | B |
| And feast upon strawberries sugar and cream | B |
