Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'll sweep out your chimney
Yes and, I will bring you flowers
Yes and, I will do for you
Most anything you want me to
[Verse 2]
If we live in a cottage
You will feel like it's a castle
By the royal way you're treated
And attention shown to you
[Verse 3]
I'll be there beside you
If you need a cryin' shoulder
Yes, and I'll be there to listen
When you need to talk to me
[Verse 4]
When you wake up in the darkness
I will put my arms around you
And hold you till the mornin' sun
Comes shinin' through the trees
[Verse 5]
I'll be right beside you
No matter where you travel
I'll be there to cheer you
Till the sun comes shinin' through
[Verse 6]
If we're ever parted
I will keep the tie that binds us
And I'll never let it break
'Cause I love you
[Verse 7]
I will bring you honey
From the bee tree in the meadow
And the first time there's a rainbow
I'll bring you a pot of gold
[Verse 8]
I'll take all your troubles
And I'll throw ‘em in the river
Then I'll bundle down beside you
And I'll keep you from the cold
[Verse 9]
I'll be right beside you
No matter where you travel
I'll be there to cheer you
Till the sun comes shinin' through
[Verse 10]
If we're ever parted
I will keep the tie that binds us
And I'll never let it break
'Cause I love you
[Verse 11]
Yes, I’ll sweep out your chimney
Yes and, I will bring you flowers
Yes and, I will do for you
Most anything you want me to
[Verse 12]
If we live in a cottage
You will feel like it's a castle
By the royal way you're treated
And attention shown to you
