A Seamans Wife, a buxome Dame, a Shoo-maker did jumble, For she was right and fit for Game, as good as e're did tumble: And he a brisk and bonny Blade, no Ranter nor no Quaker, But of the Gentle-Craft by Trade, a Journey-man Shoo-maker, Upon a day it chanced so, as she abroad was walking, She to the Shoomaker did go, to have some serious talking: She shew'd him many a pritty toy, in Courting and in Billing, And called him her only joy, to make him kind and willing,
Thou know'st I am a Seamans Wife, thou need'st not fear to venter, And we will live a merry life, and thou shalt freely enter: And when my Husband goes to Sea, to raise his own promotion, O thee and I will make it flye, while he Sails on the Ocean. She gave him a new sute of Cloaths, two Shirts and other Linnen, She also gave him Shooes and Hose, this was a good beginning: But yet he still was something Coy, his Courage waxed colder, She stroaked him, and call'd him joy, kist him and made him bolder.
At length he made no more dispute, but willingly consented, Then gallantly they did go to't, and she was well contented: My bonny Boy, O here behold, thou art my joy and honey, Here's fifteen pound for thee in Gold thou shalt not want for money. She cloath'd him new from top to toe, the Shooemaker was jolly, Then to the Tavern they did go, to drown their Melancholly: They called there for store of Wine, to make their hearts full merry, In Love they past away the time, and drank both Sack and Sherry. My Love i'le be a Friend to thee, I can't forbear to show it, Let me enjoy the like of thee, what need my Husband know it? While he is on the Ocean wide, at work for Gold and Treasure, My dear thou shalt lye by my side, and there enjoy thy pleasure. The Shoo-maker was pleas'd at this he had both Cloaths and Money, The which procured her a kiss, more sweet than drops of Honey;
She was not coy, but call'd him [?] her milk-white hand did stroak him, To lead the way to Venus sport, and by this means provoke him, To play with her the other strain, for it was her desire, The Shoomaker he did complain, that he began to tyre: But yet she would not let him go, O he was forc'd to touze her, The Shoo-maker did puff and blow, but he at the last did please her. They called them for Wine a pace, so set their Hearts a soaking, And they did bravely suck their face, till they fell both a yoaking: Thw Wine into their Brains did flow, but mark what followed after, O they could neither stand nor go, which caus'd a deal of Laughter. O let them laugh that wins, said she, for we will change Embraces, My love and I will merry be, when no one sees our faces: For though my husband sails the Main in many a bitter storm Sir, Yet when he does return again, he shall drink in the Horn Sir.
