Sequenced by Colin Johnson

[Robin] I know a youth who loves a little maid--
(Hey, but his face is a sight for to see!)
Silent is he, for he's modest and afraid--
(Hey, but he's timid as a youth can be!)

[Rose] I know a maid who loves a gallant youth,
(Hey, but she sickens as the days go by!)
She cannot tell him all the sad, sad truth--
(Hey, but I think that little maid will die!)

[Robin] Poor little man!
[Rose] Poor little maid!
[Robin] Poor little man!
[Rose] Poor little maid!

[Both] Now tell me pray, and tell me true,
What in the world should the maiden/ young man do?

[Robin] He cannot eat and he cannot sleep--
(Hey, but his face is a sight for to see!)
Daily he goes for to wailfor to weep--
(Hey, but he's wretched as a youth can be!)

[Rose] She's very thin and she's very pale--
(Hey, but she sickens as the days go by!)
Daily she goes for to weepfor to wail--
(Hey, but I think that little maid will die!)

[Robin] Poor little maid!
[Rose] Poor little man!
[Robin] Poor little maid!
[Rose] Poor little man!

[Both] Now tell me pray, and tell me true,
What in the world should the maiden/ young man do?

[Rose] If I were the youth I should offer her my name--
(Hey, but her face is a sight for to see!)

[Robin] If I were the maid I should fan his honest flame--
(Hey, but he's bashful as a youth can be!)

[Rose] If I were the youth I should speak to her today--
(Hey, but she sickens as the days go by!)

[Robin] If I were the maid I should meet the lad half way--
(For I really do believe that timid youth will die!)

[Rose] Poor little man!
[Robin] Poor little maid!
[Rose] Poor little man!
[Robin] Poor little maid!

[Both] I thank you, sir/miss, for your counsel true;
I'll tell that maid/youth what she/he ought to do!
