Lyrics. PRINT THIS SONG SHEET. Chorus. I cannot come to the banquet, don’t trouble me now. I have married me a wife, I bought me a cow. I have fields and commitments that cost a pretty sum. Pray hold me excused, I cannot come. A certain man held a banquet on his fine estate in town. He laid a festive table and he wore a wedding gown.
