JAcks a naughty Boy for calling his Mother Wh--- Ile tell you the reason why, because she was one before: Then up with Aley, Aley, up with Frank so free, In came wanton Willy, and smuggld them hansomely. Four and twenty Lasses went over Trenchmore Lee, And all of them were Mowd, unless it were two or three Then up with Aley, Aley, up with jumping Joan, In came wanton Willy, and then the game went on.
Jonny he plaid with Jenny, and Jenny she plaid with Jock; And he pulld out a Guinney, to buy her a Holland Smock: Then up with Aley, Aley, up with Sue, and Siss, And in came wanton Willy, and then they Mump and Kiss. Willy he teuk up Moggy, and askt if she would Dance, But oh! how she did Simper, with many a wink, and glance: Then up with Aley, Aley, up with Bess so Brown; In came wanton Willy, and tumbld them upside down.
The Piper he struck up, and Merrily he did play, The shakeing of the sheets, and eke the Irish hay: Then up with Aley, Aley, up with Priss and Prue; In came wanton Willy, amongst the Jovial crew. The Awd wife she came up. and she began to Mutter, I think your all grown you make so great a clutter: Then up with Aley, Aley, up with Doll, and Jane. In came wonton Willy, and Kist them over again. The Coague of Ale went round, and each one drank a Health, Their sorrows for to drownd, they took no care for wealth: Then up with Aley, Aley, up with mincing Nan: In came wanton Willy, and provd himself a Man.
The Parson of the Parish, he left the Kirk in haste, For at this merry meeting, he would not be the last: Then up with Aley, Aley, up with Kate, and Joyce; In came wanton Willy, and there he took his choice. And thus with nappy Liquor, their senses they did warm, It made their wits the quicker, they thought not any harm; Then up with Aley, Aley, with Boozy Bridget too; In came wanton Willy, and he began to Wooe. Deale saw my lugs, quo Jammy, My Friends I pray now hark Let us conclude a Wedding, to make the Parson wark: Then up with Aley, Aley, up with Sarah, and pegg: In came wanton Willy, and there he danct a Jigg. The bargain was agreed, that Billy, he should have Bess, And so they sent out Harry, for to invite the Guess: Then up with Aley, Aley, up with Gillian fair: In came wanton Willy, and them twa made a pair. Now with this jovial Wedding, I do conclude my Song, And with that Trenchmore Lasses, they may live merry and long: Then up with Aley, Aley, up with all the train: We will all be merry, if ere we meet again.
