Jemmy Jed went into a shed, Born in the woods to be scar'd by an owl? How many miles to Babylon? Can I get there by candle-light? Oh I am so happy, As she sprang like a lark From her low trundle bed. It is morning, bright morning, Oh give me one kiss, For good morning, mamma! Trip upon trenchers, And dance upon dishes, My mother sent me for yeast, some yeast, She bid me tread lightly, And come again quickly, For fear the young men would play me some jest. Yet didn't you see, yet didn't you see, What naughty tricks they put upon me? They broke my pitcher, and spilt my water, There was an old man in a velvet coat, He kiss'd a maid and gave her a groat; The groat was crack'd and would not go. Ah, old man, do you serve me so? Three wise men of Gotham And if the bowl had been stronger Up in the green orchard there is a green tree, And Reuben and Robin shall gather them all. Harry cum Parry, when will you marry? I'll come to your wedding without any bidding, |
