When First Amintas Sued For A Kiss Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
When [G]first a minter sued for a [C]kiss,
My innocent [G]heart was [D]tender,
[G]That though I pushed
[C]him away from the place,
My eyes declared [D]my heart was [G]one.
I fear an artful coyness would [C]use,
Before I the [A]fault did [G]surrender,
But love would suffer
[C]no more such a blouse,
And [G]soon, alas, my cheat [D]was [G]known.
He'd sit all day and laugh and [C]play,
A thousand [G]pretty [C]things would [D]say.
My hand he'd [G]squeeze [C]an
d press my [G]knees
[C]Till further [G]on he [D]got my de[G]grees.
My heart just like a vessel at [C]sea
Would [A]toss when a Mintus came [D]near [G]me,
But oh, so cunning a [C]pilot was he,
Through [G]doubts and fears
he'd [D]still sail [G]on.
I thought in him no danger [C]could be,
So wisely [A]he knew how [D]to steer me.
[G]But soon a lapse [C]was brought to agree,
To taste of joys [D]before un[G]known.
Well might he boast his faith at [C]last,
How soon he found the golden [D]coast.
Enjoy'd the [G]oar,
and [C]touch'd the [G]shore,
[C]Where never [G]merchant went before.
