I'll Give You the Keys of Heaven

I will give you a little watering can
To water the garden whenever you can
If you'll marry, marry marry, marry
If you'll marry me
I would love that little watering can
To water the garden whenever I can
But I won't marry, marry, marry, marry
I won't marry you

I will buy you a little bouncing ball
To bounce from the kitchen into the hall
If you'll marry, marry, marry, marry
If you'll marry me
I would love that little bouncing ball
To bounce from the kitchen into the hall
But I won't marry, marry, marry, marry
I won't marry you

I will give you the golden keys to heaven
To count the angels seven by seven
If you will marry, marry, marry, marry
If you'll marry me
I would love the golden keys to heaven
To count the angels seven by seven
But I'll not marry, marry, marry, marry,
I'll not marry you

I will give you a big box of gold
To count your money when you get old
If you'll marry, marry, marry, marry
If you'll marry me
I would love that big box of gold
To count my money when I get old
But I won't marry, marry, marry, marry
I won't marry you

Ha ha ha, ain't you funny
You don't want me but you want my money
So I won't marry, marry, marry, marry
I won't marry you.
