THe wanton Girls of Graves-end Town have now quite lost my heart; Maintained by the Seamen brave, but nere will take their part: Theyr foolish, I and simple too, yea, pampered also, Ile nothing have with them to do, for a trick that I do know. The first that ever came to town, she was right Pintle bred, A Girl that true and constant is, to please men in the Bed:
While you have Gold and Silver store, shel any whether go, But now I will trust her no more, for a trick that I do know. There is a bonny handsome Girl, that Lives beneath the Sun, A wench thats kind and willing too, and ready for a run: Shel walk with you from place to place, where ere you please to go, Shel kiss and play, both night and day, for a trick, etc.
Another Girl there is also, as Fierce as any Dragon, She kindness will unto you show, if you call for your Flaggon: And when your money doth fall short, shel say tis time to go, And there you must no longer sport, for a trick, etc. Over the way, I dare to say, if you do think it fit, There you may have a Girl most brave, has neither fear nor wit: From ten pound to a shilling, she will stoop, though tis too low Her Love I will no longer be, for a trick, etc. There is another Daulting School, that is within the Town, Of any man theyl make a fool, when drink gets in his Crown: But now I think, by Loving Chink, the Sign is pulld full Low, Then have a care, and come not there, for a trick, etc. Another house is in the Town, that I shall ner forget; There Fortune once on me did frown, I lost both Coyn and wit: My head was brought down to the ground, methought exceeding low,
But Ile come there no more, I swear, for a trick, etc. Theres more that live in Graves-end town, that here I will not name, To their disgrace it would redound, and be much to their shame: About Koa they most do dwell, I am informed so, Ile ner come there, into their Snare, for a trick, etc. Neptunes brave Boys now look about, that venture lives for money, And why should you that are so stout, thus dote upon a Conney: When tis too late you may repent, and some have found it so, Gravesend ner will your Pockets fill, for a trick, etc. He that is wise, let him despise, such wenches as are there, And you that had your pockets pickt, I hope will have a care: And come no more, upon that Shore, where you were served so, Be your own friend, and leave Graves-end, for a trick that I do know.
