Look at the girl in the scarlet dress,
Looking like a queen, she can't be less,
Than the lovely maiden of a rich man's son,
Look at them, look at her everyone,
Am I such a fool
To think that she could ever be mine,
If I'm such a fool,
Tell me why I stand here looking at her all the time.
I wish that I wasn't just a boy,
Working in the kitchen under her employ,
I wish I had money and a great big farm,
I'd ride away with her on my arm,
Am I such a fool
To think that she could ever be mine,
If I'm such a fool,
Tell me why I stand here looking at her all the time.
I'm just a fool in her eyes
And I know it,
If she saw the love in my eyes
She wouldn't show it.
