English text
I gave her pig and I gave her pie
and I gave her punch and perry,
and Peggy grew merry,
grew wonderful merry.
I pledged her twice
and she pledged me thrice,
and at last we both were merry.
She prattled and tattled,
her little tongue never was weary,
I gave her pig and I gave her pie
and I thought she would never be weary.
