His laces and braces And all his prety things hey down, With a hey down, down, Down. When he came to pay the shot His heart grew very cold, For he had broke a black pot Which made his Ostesse Scold, And all his money spent Which made him to lament hey down With a hey The Pedler took his cony-skins, And his Cob-web Lawn, The Pedler took his points and pins, [And] laid them there to pawn: [His laces] and braces, [And all his prety things.

THe Pedler he went drunk to bed, And when he did awake, When he remembred what he did, It made his heart to ake. His Ostesse had his ware, And left him very bare. hey down He to his Ostesse faire did say, And did prevaile so farre, He got his ware of her again, And took his leave of her: He took up his pack And hung it on his back. hey down. The high-way it was very deep Which sorely troubled him, Through the water did he creep, And set his ware to swim: His laces and braces, And all his prety things. hey down, The Pedler on a hill did get, And laid his ware to dry, His cony-skins was very wet. Which grieved him wondrously His laces and braces, And all his prety things. hey down, The Pedler he fell fast asleep, And as asleep he lay: Up the hill a Knave did creep, And stole his ware away, His laces and braces, And all his prety things, hey down. The Pedler waked from his sleep, [And] found his ware was gone, [The silly sheep he could but] weep, [Then went his journey on.]
With an empty pack To shew what he did lack hey down, There was two lovely Lasses That in one house did dwell, The one of them was bony Kate, The other bouncing Nell: And either of them both had Cony-skins to sell. hey down Kate brought forth her Cony-skins From under-neath the staires, They were as black as any Jet, And full of silver haires: The Pedler would have bought them Rather then his eares. hey down, Nell brought forth hers to sell One of another view, They were as good as good might be And that the Pedler knew. The sawcy Jack set down his pack, And set his wares to view, hey down Besse went tripping ore the green With one poore Cony-skin, Because shee would not have it seene, Or known where shee had bin: Shee closely bid the same Untill the Pedler came, hey down, The Maidens of Camberwell Brought forth their skins, But when they came their ware to sell, The Pedler had no pins, Nor laces, nor [b]races, Nor such prety [t]hings. hey down, The Maidens have truste[d him] With their Cony skins, And he hath promisd sleek and prim As one who cheats and wins; And tells them, he will come again, And give them pretty things. Hey down.]
