One day I will marry
a Cornish girl,
we’ll live by the harbour
and travel the world,
sunlight will dance
on her amber curls –
one day I will marry
a Cornish girl.
One day I will marry
a Yorkshire lass,
an ochre-eyed beauty
her hair in a clasp.
Queen of the Dales,
the wind-beaten grass –
one day I will marry
a Yorkshire lass.
One day I will marry
a gypsy gal,
we’ll sleep in the ivy,
wherever we shall,
star-share our secrets
and never tell –
one day I will marry
a gypsy gal.
