The newest pettycoat that she got toward Was made of your blanket bluish, The fresh new smock try because black colored given that charcole, Trust in me this is genuine; But tempting conditions, often lure younger wild birds, The ones from its colony create fly, And you will I'll most likely never believ't was the first time You to definitely she had come caught on the kye. An excellent council, a beneficial man, We render, To you, young man, I render, Never ever take having a bob-tail'd lass As long as you an hour or so to call home. You'd beter just take one that's proper and you will tall, Even if she feel never thus worst, For We never ever was so disgraced inside my existence As i is actually from this bob-tail'd whoore.

Boeddeker’s post ‘Englische Lieder und auch Balladen aus dem 16. Jahrhundert’, Jahrbuch fur romanische und englische Sprache , N. F. II, 1875. Expurgated and you may unfinished when you look at the Chappell’s PMOT. The new date from the ballad could be period sooner than L. Lloyd’s tune above.
