Revision as of 05:10, 7 February 2013

LOVE WON'T YOU MARRY ME? AKA - "Love Will You Marry Me?" AKA and see "Braes of Mar (1) (The)," "Johnny Will You Marry Me?/Johnny Won't You Marry Me?" "Lasses of Donnybrook," "Lord MacDonald (1)," "Sir Alexander McDonald's Reel," "Some Say the Devil's Dead." Irish, Highland Fling. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody is perhaps derived from "I'm Over Young to Marry Yet (1)." The title comes from various ditties set to the song, often in call-and-response form, such as:

Love won't you marry me,
Marry me, marry me?
Love won't you marry me
And keep me from all danger

No I won't marry you,
Marry you, marry you;
No I won't marry you
Because you are a stranger.
