WHEN I was a little boy my mammy kept me in, But now I am a great boy I'm fit to serve the king; I can handle a musket, and I can smoke a pipe, And I can kiss a pretty girl at twelve o'clock at night. JACK be nimble, And Jack be quick : The candle-stick. PUSSY-CAT sits by the fire, How did she come there? Says, "Pussy! are you there? MASTER I have, and I am his man, Master I have, and I am his man, THE SOW came in with the saddle, Call'd the dish-clout a nasty slut: Odds-bobs, says the gridiron, can't you agree? I'm the head constable,-come along with me. Hey ding a ding, ding, I heard a bird sing, The parliament soldiers are gone to the king. |
