Show Me the Key

Lyrics

[MARY] I [DICKON] She [MARY] I'm a girl [DICKON] She is a lass as took a graidly fancy to thee Dost tha' fear? [MARY] Tha' mun not fear [DICKON] She's took thee on for like to vex thee Nowt o' the soart [MARY] Nowt o' the soart [DICKON] She knows fair well, she mun not fright thee [MARY] Canna tha' show me? [DICKON] Fair better to know her [MARY] Show me the key [DICKON] Show her the key She's a lass and thou art right As needs a spot where she can rest in [MARY] I mun sit where I'll not be so Thinkin' thoughts or feel a guest in [DICKON] Nowt o' the soart [MARY] Nowt o' the soart [DICKON] She'd fair be watchin' for the spring [MARY] I'll not be climbin' up I'll only be callin' "Good mornin'" And fair low I'll sing [DICKON, spoken] Well done, Mary! [MARY] I'll only walk around as like to see it for myself If tha' canst 'low me visit I'll speak low e'en to thyself Tha'll not be bothered night and day By wenches racin' 'round I'll but seem a silent dream Standin' on the secret ground I'd but smell the growing things Count the roses 'gainst the wall Hear thy babes when first they peck Stretch my hands if they should fall Or if tha' likes, I'll bring thee seeds Or worms all in a mound For tha'll have me for a friend Tha'll be the first I've found I'm a lass [DICKON] A trusty lass [MARY] That took a graidly fancy to thee Canna tha' show me? [DICKON] Fair well tha' dost know her [MARY] Show me the key Show me the key [DICKON] Show her the key [DICKON, spoken] Well, I'm off then.  [MARY, spoken] Where are you going? [DICKON, spoken] Oh, I can't say But I'll see thee tomorrow sure enough And if you need me before then, well, now that you and Robin is talkin' He always knows where I am [MARY, spoken] But can't you help me look for the key? [DICKON, spoken] But that's why I'm leavin', Mary A body can't find a thing in a crowd [MARY, spoken] All right then, bye [DICKON] And you'll be here to see it Stand and breathe it all the day Stoop and feel it, stop and hear it Spring, I say [MARY, spoken] Oh no! Look what— What was that? Where did it... There it is! It's a key! It's the key to the garden! I found the key to the garden! It was right here! The door But where's the door? [MARTHA, spoken] Mary Lennox! [MARY, spoken] Coming!
