[Verse 1]
Tell me why you are so cruel
Tell me why you scorn me so
Tell me why to all my questions
You must always answer "No"

[Chorus]
No sir, no sir, no sir, no sir
No sir, no sir, no sir, no

[Mandolin Solo]

[Verse 2]
We'll go walking in the garden
Gathering flowers fresh with dew
Tell me, would you be offended
If I walk and talk with you?

[Chorus]
No sir, no sir, no sir, no sir
No sir, no sir, no sir, no

[Fiddle Solo]

[Verse 3]
If while walking in the garden
I should ask you to be mine
Tell me, would you to this question
Would you answer "No" this time?
[Chorus]
No sir, no sir, no sir, no sir
No sir, no sir, no sir, no
