oh my daughter who will we get?

My mother I leave it up to you.

If I get you the butcher

he will come and he will go,

but he'll always hold the sausage in his hands...

If he gets a bright idea

he'll sausage you oh my daughter.



(ii)

If I get you the fisherman

he will come and he will go,

but he'll always hold the fish in his hands...

If he gets a bright idea

he'll fish you oh my daughter.



(iii)

If I get you the shoemaker

he will come and he will go,

he will come and he will go,

but he'll always hold the cucumber in his hands...
