She was so happy 'bout it all,
She told her Faither so.

Faither told her, Senga doll,

So Senga put aside her Joe
and planned to marry Wull.

He said, 'there's trouble still.'

You canny marry Wull, my doll,
and please don't tell yur Mither.

but Mither knew and said, my doll,
Just do what makes yo' happy.
