And why may not I love Johnny?
And why may not Johnny love me?
And why may not I love Johnny
As well as another body?
And here's a leg for a stocking,
And here is a leg for a shoe,
And he has a kiss for his daddy,
And two for his mammy, I trow.
And why may not I love Johnny?
And why may not Johnny love me?
And why may not I love Johnny,

LSIE MARLEY is grown so fine,

She won't get up to serve the swine,

But lies in bed till eight or nine,
And surely she does take her time.

And do you ken Elsie Marley, honey?
The wife who sells the barley, honey?
She won't get up to serve her swine,
And do you ken Elsie Marley, honey?

was a son,

TOM he was a piperys when he was young,

But all the tunes that he could play,
Was "Over the hills and far away;

[ocr errors]

Over the hills, and a great way off,
And the wind will blow my top-knot off.

Now Tom with his pipe made such a

noise,

That he pleas'd both the girls and boys,

And they stopp'd to hear him play

[blocks in formation]

Tom with his pipe did play with such skill,
That those who heard him could never keep still;
Whenever they heard they began for to dance,
Even pigs on their hind legs would after him

prance.

As Dolly was milking her cow one day,

Tom took out his pipe and began for to play;
So Doll and the cow danced "the Cheshire round,"
Till the pail was broke, and the milk ran on the
ground.

He met old Dame Trot with a basket of eggs; He used his pipe, and she used her legs;

She danced about till the eggs were all broke; She began for to fret, but he laughed at the joke.

He saw a cross fellow was beating an ass, Heavy laden with pots, pans, dishes, and glass: He took out his pipe and played them a tune, And the jackass's load was lightened full soon.

Dance o'er my Lady Lee;

London Bridge is broken down,
With a gay lady.

How shall we build it up again?
Dance o'er my Lady Lee;
How shall we build it up again?
With a gay lady.

Build it up with silver and gold,
Dance o'er my Lady Lee;
Build it up with silver and gold,
With a gay lady.

Silver and gold will be stole away,

Dance o'er my Lady Lee;

Silver and gold will be stole away,

With a gay lady.

Build it up with iron and steel,

Dance o'er my Lady Lee;

Build it up with iron and steel,

With a gay lady.
