AH! Jenny Gin, your Eyn do kill, you'l let me tell my pain; Guid Faith Ise lov'd against my will, but wou'd not break my Chain: I eance was call'd a bonny Lad, till that fair face of yours, Betray'd the freedom once I had, and all my blither hours. And now, wey's me like winter looks, my faded showring ey'n; And on the banks of shaddowing Brooks, I pass the tedious time: Ise call the streams that glide soft on,
to witness if they see, On all the banks they glide along, so true a swain as me. Jockey. Wey's me, can Jenny doubt my love, when au the Lasses see, That I done slight each mikle Dove, and languish but for thee? I'se have Five Acres of good Lond, both Sheep and muckle Rine; And au for Jenny to Command, sweet Jenny then be mine.
Jenny. Wey's me when Jockey kens my store he's will repent his pain; And au his mickle suit give o're, poor Jenny he'l disdain, Jockey. Now by this blasted Oak I swear, I'se cannot chuse but moan: Does Jenny think I'se love for Geer, ne 'tis her self alone. Ise have a pail to milk the Ews, two Dishes and four Spoon; Besides Cheese-Fats the Curds to scrue a Pot and two new Shoon: A Ladle, Spit and Dripping-Pan, two Stools and one Straw-Bed; On which poor Jockey wad full fain get Jennys Maiden-head. Jenny Nay if mine Jockey be so stor'd, we's ne no more to buy; Geud faith I'se have a muckle hoard, that will the rest supply: I'se have two Cheeses made of whey, a Pudding Tub and Pan; To fry Tripe on the Wadding-day, if Jockey be the Man. Geud faith, since Jenny's pleas'd to bless her Love-sick humble Swain; I'se by this shade do now profess, I'se constant will remain:
Yea, byth agreement now I'se swear, I'se auways loving prove: So that each Lass shall envy her, to see how well I'se love. If Jockeys Riches will not do, thy Jenny will not fail, To take her Kettle and go Brew a cragg of Nappy Ale: A strike of Mault with pain and care, well houswiv'd may do well; 'Tis stock enough for we poor Folk, that Brew good Ale to sell. Jenny. Then let us gang to muckle John, that he may tye the Knot; That I your joys may hasten on, sin, 'tis kind Jockeys Lott: With au his heart Jockey will gang, and happy shall he be: To hugg his Jenny au night long, in mickle mirth and glee. Then good sir, Donkin, by your leave, a Wading we mun have; Dost see the Skippets and Belloons, with Lads and Lasses brave? I'se Jockey take thee Jenny true, to be my wadded Wife; Forsake my Loons and Lubber-Loons, to please thee all my life.
FINIS.
