The fresh new pettycoat you to she had towards the Was created of the blanket bluish, The brand new smock try given that black just like the charcole, Believe me this was genuine; However, appealing words, usually tempt young birds, That from the colony carry out travel, And I'll most likely never believ't are the first occasion One to she had been trapped from the kye. A great council, a great man, I give, To you personally, young buck, I promote, Never get that have an effective bob-tail'd lass For as long as you have one hour to live on. You had beter grab one that's correct and you will extreme, Whether or not she feel never so worst, Getting We never ever is actually therefore disgraced during my lives While i is actually by this bob-tail'd whoore.

The latest day of the is about just like L. Lloyd’s track mentioned less than. Text of BL MS Thread Vesp. A.twenty-five, through K. Boeddeker’s blog post ‘Englische Lieder und Balladen aus dem 16. Jahrhundert’, Jahrbuch fur romanische und auch englische Sprache , Letter. F. II, 1875. Expurgated and you may partial for the Chappell’s PMOT. The fresh new date of ballad could be several months sooner than L. Lloyd’s song a lot more than. A traditional version obtained rather than song, in the 1825, is actually “The latest Hawthorn Green”, p. cuatro for the Elizabeth. B. Lyle’s Andrew Crafurd’s Type of Ballads and you may Songs 1975. A bad conventional veresion which i believe are learned off Chappell’s PMOT, is “The newest Hawthorn Plant”, p. 15 when you look at the Fred Hammer’s Garners Gay , EFDSS, 1968.
