Lyrics :

Well I don't want your green back dollar
Well I don't want your watch'n'chain
Honey all I want, is you my darling
Well won't you take me back again

Oh papa says, we cannot marry
Well mama says it will never do
But if you ever learn to love me
I will run away with you

Oh, I don't want your green back dollar
Well I don't want your watch'n'chain
Honey all I want is you my darling
Well won't you take me back again

...Repeat...
