pirates of penzance - oh false one! lyrics
fredrick-oh false one! you have deceived me!
ruth-i have deceived you?
fredrick-yes! deceived me…..you told me you were fair
as gold!
ruth-and master am i not so?
fredrick-and now i see you’re plain and old!
ruth-i’m sure i’m not a jot so!
fredrick-upon my innocence you play…
ruth-i’m not the one to plot so!
fredrick-your face is lined your hair is grey!
ruth-it gradually got so!
fredrick-faithless woman to deceive me, i who trusted
so.
ruth-master, master do not leave me! hear me ere you go
fredrick-faithless woman….
ruth-master, master…
fredrick-faithless woman!
ruth-master, master
(they both sing…..)
ruth-my love without reflecting, oh do not be
rejecting! take a maiden tender, her affection raw and
green. at very highest rating, has been acc-mulating.
summers seventeen, summers seventeen. don’t beloved
master, crush me with disaster! what is such a dower to
the dower i have here?
(ruth and fredrick at once….but singing different
words)
ruth-don’t beloved master, crush me with disaster! what
is such a dower to the dower i have here?
fredrick-yes, your former master, saves you from
disaster! your love would be uncomfortably fervid, it
is clear.
ruth-my love unabating,
fredrick(echoing ruth)-if as you are stating,
ruth-has been acc-mulating,
fredrick-has been acc-mulating,
ruth-forty-seven years,
fredrick-forty-seven years?!
ruth-forty-seven years.
fredrick-faithless woman to deceive me, i who trusted
so!
(they again sing different parts…..same as before.)
