A Paper of Pins
and the spools of thread
and the spools of thread
from my great aunt Verna
The scissors belonged to my mom
The scissors belonged to my mom
Boy:
I'll give to you a paper of pins,
For that's the way true love begins,
If you will marry me, me, me,
If you will marry me.

I won't accept your paper of pins,
If that's the way true love begins,
And I won't marry you, you, you,
And I won't marry you.

I'll give to you a soft easy chair,
To sit and comb your pretty hair,
If you will marry me, me, me,
If you will marry me.

To feed your babe this afternoon,
If you will marry me, me, me,

To light your way in dark of night,
If you will marry me, me, me,

To light my way in dark of night,
And I won't marry you, you, you,

So you'll have gold at your request,
If you will marry me, me, me,

When I was in grade school, 1st or 2nd grade, I think, we used to sing that song. And I think it was when we listened to the Wisconsin Educational Radio Network (now WPR) program, 'Let's Sing!' I only remembered the first two verses and had to find the others online.
Does anyone else remember this song?
Did anyone else listen to 'Let's Sing!' on the radio?? I think it was only a Wisconsin thing, so...
And yes, my gradeschool is definitely vintage...and no longer used as a school. I posted about it earlier.
A little worse for wear,
but full of fond memories.
And just in case you're interested (that's rather presumptuous, isn't it!) here's the Woodside School post I wrote back in November.
