My true love lives far from me,
Perrie, Merrie, Dixie, Dominie.
Many a rich present he sends to me,
Petrum, Partrum, Paradise, Temporie,
Perrie, Merrie, Dixie, Dominie.


He sent me a goose without a bone;
He sent me a cherry without a stone.

Petrum, &c.


He sent me a Bible no man could read;
He sent me a blanket without a thread,

Petrum, &c.
