If you come to live with me, I will sing so heartily In your honour that you will Stay to wonder at my skill.

In your honour I will fill The world with songs of triumph, till You and I and Time are old Pipers of the Age of Gold.

Time and you and I will hold, Everywhere by field and fold, Concerts of content, and be Known afar for jollity.

Everywhere by fold and field We will wander well-agreed; So I sing right heartily, Come along and live with me.
