He's handsome,

he's charming and so debonair

With blue eyes and hair of pure gold

On his stallion of white,

he's seen the whole world

But I long to see deep in his soul

But Mother, oh Mother, what if I go

And find that his love is not true

But if I refuse him, what if I lose him

Oh Mother, what shall I do
