I Gave Her Cakes
Traditional as arranged by Maddy Prior & June Tabor
from a Silly Sisters Album called, "No More To The Dance"
 
 
I gave her cakes
and I gave her ale
and I gave her sack and sherry
 
I kissed her once
and I kissed her twice
and we were wonderous merry
 
I gave her beads
and bracelets fine
and I gave her gold down derry
 
I thought she was a'fear
till she stroked my beard
and we were wonderous merry
 
Merry my hears
Merry my sprites
Merry my cocks
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry
My hey down derry
 
I kissed her once
and I kissed her twice
and we were wonderous merry
