Lyrics
He loves me, she loves me not
She loves he, he loves me not
Daisy leaf, pray tell me true
Loves he me? Oh, tell me, do
She loves me, he loves me not
He loves me, she loves me not
Give me quick, the answer, pray
Loves she me? Oh, Daisy say
Refrain
Ask the flow’rs to tell you
And they’ll always tell you true
They’re the wisest little things
That mortals ever knew
When you’re puzzled or in doubt
Just seek the clever blossoms out
And ask the flow’rs to tell you
For they’ll always tell you true
Buttercup, pray let me see
If your test, means joy to me
Love you butter? Then you’ll be
Fond and true, eternally
This the sign, well known of old
If you love, reflect the gold
But if not, a visage cold
O’er the flow’r, I will behold
Roses red, have ever said
That the maid her love will wed
Roses white will Cupid fright
Lovers all, deplore the sight
So the maids, with careless grace
In their hair, the tokens place
And your fate, you quickly see
“Yes” or “No”, ‘Tis sure to be
