Look at the girl in the scarlet dress, Looking like a queen, she can't be less, Than the lovely maiden of a rich man's son, Look at them, look at her everyone, Am I such a fool to think that she could ever be mine, If I'm such a fool, Tell me why I stand here looking at her all the time. I wish that I wasn't just a boy, Working in the kitchen under her employ, I wish I had money and a great big farm, I'd ride away with her on my arm, Am I such a fool to think that she could ever be mine, If I'm such a fool, Tell me why I stand here looking at her all the time. I'm just a fool in her eyes and I know it, If she saw the love in my eyes she wouldn't show it. Look at the girl in the scarlet dress, Looking like a queen, she can't be less, Than the lovely maiden of a rich man's son, Look at them, look at her everyone, Am I such a fool to think that she could ever be mine, If I'm such a fool, Tell me why I stand here looking at her all the time.
