THere was a Shepherds Daughter came tripping on the way, And there she met a courteous Knight, which caused her to stay: Sing trang dildo lee. Good-morrow to you beauteous Maid, these words pronounced he, O I shall dye this day, he said, if Ive not my wi[l]l of thee: Sing trang, etc. The Lord forbid, the Maid rep[l]yd, that such a thing should be, That ever such a courteous Knight should dye for love of me: Sing trang, etc. He took her about the middle so small, and laid her on the plain, And after he had got his wi[l]l, he took her up again: Sing trang, etc. Now you have had your will, kind Sir, and put my body to shame, Even as you are a courteous Knight, tell me what is your name? Sing trang, etc.
Some do call me Jack, Sweet-heart, and some do call me John, But when I come to the Kings fair court, they call me Sweet William: Sing trang, etc. He set his foot into the stirrup, and away then he did ride; She tuckt her girdle about her middle, and ran close by his side: Sing trang, etc. But when she came to the broad water, she set her breast and swam; And when she was got out again, she took her heels and ran: Sing trang, etc. He never was the courteous Knight to say, Fair Maid will you ride? Nor she was never so loving a Maid to say, Sir Knight abide! Sing trang, etc. When she came to the Kings fair court, she knocked at the ring, So ready was the King himself to let this fair Maid in: Sing trang, etc.
[O Christ save you, my gracious Leige,] your body Christ save and see, You have a Knight within your court this day hath robbed me: Sing trang, etc. What hath he robbed thee of, Sweet-heart, of purple or of pall? Or hath he took thy gay gold ring from off thy finger small? Sing trang, etc. He hath not robbed me, my Liege, of purple or of pall, But he hath got my maiden-head, which grieves me worst of all: Sing trang, etc. Now if he be a batchelor his body ill give to thee, But if he be a married man high hanged shall he be: Sing trang, etc. He called down his merry men all by one, by two and by three; Sweet William usd to be the first, but now the last comes he: Sing trang, etc. He brought her down full forty pound tyd up within a glove, Fair Maid, I give the same to thee, and seek another love: Sing trang, etc. Oh, ill have none of your gold, she said, nor ill have none of your fee, But I must have your fair body, the King hath given me: Sing trang, etc. Sweet William ran and fetcht her then five hundred pound in gold, Saying, Fair Maid take this to thee, thy fault will never be told: Sing trang, etc. Tis not thy gold that shall me tempt, these words then answered she; But I must have your own body, so the King hath granted me: Sing trang, etc.
[?] [when I did drink the wine,] That ever any [Shepherds] Daughter should be a fair Lady of mine: Sing trang dildo lee. Would I had drank the puddle water, when I did drink the ale; That ever any Shepherds Daughter should have told me such a tale: Sing trang, etc. A Shepherds Daughter as I was, you might have let me be, Id ner a come to the Kings fair court to have cravd any love of thee; Sing trang, etc. He set her on a milk-white steed, and himself upon a gray, He hung a bugle about his neck, and so they rode away: Sing trang, etc. But when they came unto the place where marriage-rites was done, She provd herself a Dukes Daughter, and he but a Squires Son: Sing trang, etc. Now you have married me, Sir Knight, your pleasures will be free; If you make me Lady of one good town, Ill make thee Lord of three: Sing trang, etc. Accursed by the gold, he said, if thou hadst not been true, That should a parted thee from me, to have changd thee for a new: Sing trang, etc. Their hearts being so linked fast, and joyned hand in hand, He had both purse and person too, and all at his command: Sing trang dildo lee.
