SIX long years have I servd of my time, And no one will set me free, And so I will be a raking young blade, And care for no body. So I will rant and roar and call for more, Let them say what they will; For I am resolvd as long as I live To be a Good Fellow still. I have a good old father at home, And I have cost him many a pound, And now to make him amends for all, I will travel the country all round; I will tell them how I have spent my, And in roving I have had my fill, So I am resolved as long as I live To be a Good Fellow still. I have a good old Mother at home, And I have cost her many a tear, And now to make her amends for all, I will travel both far and near. I will tell them how I have spent my time, And in roving I have had my fill, So I am resolved as long as I live To be a Good Fellow still. My true love sent me a broad piece of gold, I viewd it wondrous well; But that will neither purchase houses nor land, Nor keep me from heaven or hell. But that will purchase a good brown bowl, As the girls may drink their fill; So I am resolved as long as I live, To be a Good Fellow still.
