I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)
I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)

I see your eyes a' wandering
Wishing and a' wanting
But I am not for conquering
A husband I will win

You can send me trinkets
Beg me for my kisses
But I will be no mistress
To no man or king

I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)
I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)

You want me for your lover
To line up with the others
But you will soon discover
I'm not a summer fling

You can send me trinkets
Beg me for my kisses
But I will be no mistress
To no man or king

I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)
I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)

I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)
I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)

You want me for your lover
I'm not like the others
And I'll not take your offer
I want a wedding ring!

I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)
I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)

I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)
I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)
