O John, my love, come kiss me now!
O John, come kiss me by and by,
For well you know the way to woo!

O, some will court and compliment,
And other some will kiss and pet;
But I will make of my husband,
My own husband - it is no fault!

O, some will court and compliment,
And other some will taste their mouth,
And some will cuddle in other's arms,
And that is the way I like to do!
