5 O Madam since you are so cruel, And that you do scorn me so, If I may not be your lover, Madam, will you let me go? O No John! No John! No John! No! 6 Then I will stay with you for ever If you will not be unkind. Madam, I have vowed to love you Would you have me change my mind? O No John! No John! No John! No! 7 O hark! I hear the church bells ringing, Will you come to be my wife? Or dear Madam, have you settled To live single all your life? O No John! No John! No John! No!
