Do You Suppose That He Will Come Today?

Did you see, mother, when my friend
promised that he would come to speak with me?
Do you suppose that he will come today?

Did you see how he promised he'd never receive,
if he did not come, any benefit from me?
Do you suppose that he will come today?

Did you see the oaths that he swore to me
that he'd come unless a prisoner or dead?
Do you suppose that he will come today?

Did you see the oaths that he swore just there
that he would come and that he swore by me?
Do you suppose that he will come today?
