I PROMISE TO MARRY YOU


My Sally

O beauty of every beauty ever lived

Africa must hear about you

The moment I marry you

Because

I sure will

 

I admire people in marriage

And too want to be part of this

But,

You are yet to bid your family farewell

And `em give tuine their blessings

Sally

Your name elates me

Looks like I read it in movies

And the thought of marrying you

Seem fiction that I read in books

 

When I came to your parent

Seeking permission to take you

I will sent the elderly

To speak on my behalf

So wisely, that you be given to me

 

Sally, a supra gem

I promise and vow to keep the promise

That I shall not wander right and

Left

But, by the stand, you,

That I will marry you

 

Let`s therefore say no to distrust

Greasy confusion that `ll delay our marriage

And work upon this powerful project

That will unite the two of us

Sally again,

I promise to marry you
