IF there were imployments for men, as have beene, And Drummes, Pikes, and Muskets in th field to be seene, And every worthy Souldier had truely their pay, Then might they be bolder, to sing, Care away. If there were no Rooking, but plaine dealing used, If honest Religion were no wayes abused, If pride in the Country did not beare sway, The poore, and the Gentry might sing, Care away. If Farmers considerd the dearenesse of graine, How honest poore Tradesmen their charge should maintaine, And would bate the price ont to sing, Care away. We should not be nice ont, of what we did pay,
Af poore Tenants Land-lords, would not racke their rents, Which oft is the cause of their great discontents: If againe good house-keeping in th Land did beare sway, The poore that sits weeping, might sing, Care away. If to live uprightly all men were concurring, If Lawyers with Clients would use no demurring, But kindly would use them, for what they did pay; They need not sit-musing, but sing, Care away. If Spendthrifts were carefull and would leave their follies, Ebriety hating, Cards, Dice, Bowling-Alleyes, Or with wantons to dally by night or by day, Their wives might be merry, and sing, Care away.

IF Children to Parents, would dutifull be, If Servants with Masters; would deale faithfully, If Gallants poore Tradesmen would honestly pay, Then might they have comfort, to sing, Care away. There is no contentment, to a conscience thats cleare, That man is most wretched, a bad mind doth beare, To wrong his poore Neighbour, by night or by day, He wants the true comfort to sing, Care away. But he that is ready, by goodnesse to labour, In what he is able to helpe is poore Neighbour; The Lord will ever blesse him by night and by day, All joyes shall possesse him to sing, Care away. Would wives with their husbands, and husbands with wine, In love and true friendship would so lead their lines, As best might be pleasing, to Godnight and day, Then they with hearts easing, might sing, Care away.
No crosse can be greater, unto a good mind, Than a man to be matched with a woman unkind, Whose tongue is never quiet, but scolds night and day, That man wants the comfort to sing, Care away. A vertuous woman a husband that hath, Thats given unto lewdnesse, to envy and wrath, Who after wicked women, does hunt for his prey, That woman wants comfort, to sing, Care away. Were there no resorting, to houses of vice, Or were there no courting a wench that is nice, Yet ere she will refuse it, the wanton will play. Poore men might be merry, and sing, Care away. Like true subjects loyall, to God let us pray, Our good King so Royall, to preserve night and day: With the Queen, Prince and Nobles, the Lord blesse them aye: Then may we all have comfort, to sing, Care away.
