pat boone - friendly persuasion lyrics

(words by paul francis webster and music by dmitri tiomkin)
thee i love, more than the meadow so green and still
more than the mulberries on the hill
more than the buds on the may apple tree, i love thee

arms have i, strong as the oak, for this occasion
lips have i, to kiss thee, too, in friendly persuasion

thee is mine, though i don't know many words of praise
thee pleasures me in a hundred ways
put on your bonnet, your cape, and your glove
and come with me, for thee i love

[instrumental interlude]

friendly persuasion

thee is mine, though i don't know many words of praise
thee pleasures me in a hundred ways
put on your bonnet, your cape, and your glove
and come with me, for thee i love
