ALL in a misty Morning, So cloudy was the Weather, I meeting with an old Man, Who was cloathed all in Leather, With neer a Shirt unto his Back, But Woollen to his Skin. With how do you do, and how do you do, And how do you do again. The Rustick was a Thresher, And on the Way he hyd, And with a Leather Bottle Fast buckled by his Side; And with a Cap of Woollen, That coverd Cheek and Chin. With how do you do, etc.
I went a little farther, And there I met a Maid, Was going then a Milking. A Milking, Sir, she said. Then I began to compliment, And she began to sing. With how do you do, etc. This Maidens Name was Dolly, Cloathed in a Gown of Grey. I being somewhat jolly, Persuaded her to stay; Then strait I fell to courting her, In hopes her Love to win. With how do you do, and how do you do, And how do you do again?
Then having Time and Leisure, I spent a vacant Hour, Telling of my Treasure, Whilst sitting in the Bower; With many kind Embraces, I stroakd her double Chin, With how do you do, etc. I told her I would marry, And she should be my Bride, And long we should not tarry, With twenty Things beside: Ill plow and sow, and reap and mow, Whilst thou shalt sit and spin. With how do you do, etc. Did not you meet my Father, The Damsel then replyd; His Jerkin was of Leather, A Bottle by his Side. Yes, I did meet him trudging As fast as he could win. With, etc. Kind Sir, I have a Mother, Besides a Father still; Those Friends, above all others, You must ask their Good-will: For if I be undutiful To them, it is a Sin. With, etc. Now there we left the Milk-pail, And to her Mother went, And when we were come thither, I asked her Consent, And doft my Hat, and made a Leg, For why she was within. With, etc. My Husband is a Threshing, Who is her Father dear, Hell give with her his Blessing, Kind Sir, you need not fear.
He is of such Good-nature, That he could never lin. With, etc. For by your courteous Carriage You seem an honest Man; You may have her in Marriage. My Husband he anon Will bid you very welcome, Though he be poor and thin. With, etc. Her Dad came home full weary, Alas! he could not chuse. Her Mother being merry, She told him all the News. Then being mighty jolly too, His Song did soon begin. With, etc. Her Parents being willing, All Parties were agreed; Her Portion Thirty Shillings, They married were with Speed. Then Will the Piper he did play, While they did dance and sing. With, etc. In pleasant Recreation They passd away the Night; And also by relation, With her he takes Delight, To walk abroad on Holidays, To visit Kiff and Kin. With, etc. Then lusty Ralph and Robin, With many Damsels gay, Did ride on Roan and Dobbin, To celebrate the Day. When being met together, Their Caps they off did fling. With how do you do, and how do you do, And how do you do again?
