The Spanish Merchant's Daughter Lyrics
The Spanish Merchant's Daughter - The Stoneman Family
Father was a Spanish Merchant and before he went to sea
Made me promise to say no sir to all you say to me
No sir no sir no sir no sir
I know your father was against me
Should he not return from sea
And they say you have no mother
Would you then say no to me
No sir no sir no sir no sir
Yes I know I have no mother
Should father not return from sea
Then you see I have a brother
Who would take good care of me
No sir no sir no sir no sir
If we were walking in the garden
Plucking roses wet with dew
Would you be in any way offended
If I walked and talked with you
No sir no sir no sir no sir
I know the world is very cruel
If you have no one to care
But I always will say no sir
Until from father I do hear
No sir no sir no sir no sir
As we tarry in the garden
And I linger by your side
Would you tell me
I must leave you and refuse to be my bride
No sir no sir no sir no sir
No sir no sir no sir no more
