Original text and translations
English text
1. Some men desire spouses,
That come of noble houses,
And some would have in marriage
Ladies of courtly carriage.
Fa la la.
But few desire as I do,
The maidenhead of a widow.
Fa la la.
2. Some think fair youth will cherish,
Strength that begins to perish.
I’ll have no colts to taming,
Let me be young'st at gaming.
Fa la la.
I’ll get, or I’ll go nigh too,
The Maidenhead of a widow.
Fa la la.
