AS from Newcastle I did pass, I heard a blithe and bonny Lass, Who in the Scottish Army was, Saying, prethee le me gang with thee man, Unto a Cavaliero Blade, As I suppose, her moan she made, For ever more these words she said, Ile follow my Cavalilly man, O my dainty Cavalilly man, My finnikin Cavalilly man, For Gods Cause and the Protestants, I prethee le me gang with thee man. Sweet-heart, quoth she, if thout consent, To follow thee my minde is bent, Ill strive to give thee all content, Then prethee le me gang with thee man; Ill sell my Rock and eke my Reel, And after that my Spinning wheel, To buy my Love a Cap of Speel, And follow my Cavalilly man: O my dainty, &. My Uncle gave me a House and Land, Ill selt for money out of hand, And all sall be at thy command, Then p[r]ethee le me gang with thee man: My Mammy gave me a Pot and a Pan,
My Dady gave me a Yew and a Lamb, Yet Is forsake my Dady and Mam, To follow my Cavalilly man: O my dainty, etc. Ile pawn my Kirtle and eke my Gowne, Which cost my Mother many a Crowne And goe with thee from Town to Town, Then prethee le me gang with thee Man: Ile sell my Petticoat from my back, My Smock and all ere thou shalt lack For either Money Beer, or Sack: Then prethee le me goe with thee man, O my dainty, etc. Thy company I love so deere, Then rather then Ile tarry here, Thy Snapsack on my back Ile beare And follow my Cavalilly man, Ile sell off all my Hemp and Hards, And throw aside my wooll and Cards. To march along from gards to gards, Then prethee le me goe with thee man. O my dainty Cavalilly man, My finikin Cavalilly man, For Gods Cause and the Protestants, prethee le me gang with thee man.

WHatsoever shall of my selfe betide, Where thou shalt either goe or ride, Throughout the Kingdom far and wide, Ile follow my Cavalilly man: I neither care for dirt nor mire, Nor marches long my legs to tire, Thy company I most desire, Then prethee le me goe with thee man, O my dainty Cavalilly man; My finikin Cavalilly man, For Gods Cause and the Protestants, I prethee le me goe with thee man. For hose and shoes thous want for nean Though thy Apparrell be but mean, Is wash thee weel and keep thee clean, Then prethee le me go with thee man: Thou salt have cleath to make thee a sark That every yard sall cost a Mark, And whether it sall be light or darke, Ile follow my Cavalilly man, O my dainty, etc. Give me thy Musket in my hand. And when thy Captain gives command, Upon the Centry I will stand, In stead of my Cavalilly man: Im not afraid of Pistoll shot, Nor Cannon bullets burning hot, Since that it is my happy lot, To follow my Cavalilly man, O my dainty, etc,
Whilst drums are beating loud alarms I will be ready in thine arms, To keep my love from further harms, To follow my Cavalilly man, In frost, in Snow, in Hail, and Raine, Ore Hill, and Dale, and many a Plaine, Ile follow thee through all the Traine, Then prethee le me goe with thee man, O my dainty, etc. And when the Wars are at an end, That Is return heam with my Friend, Ile worke for means for thee to spend, Then prethee le me goe with thee Man, Ile buy thee new Apparell gay, To wear upon thy Wedding day, Then doe not hinder me I pray, To follow my Cavalilly man, O my dainty, The Soldier hearing of her mean, Was loath to leave her all alean, And she along with him is gean, To follow her Cavalilly man: She vows that he his part will take, And though her life were laid atth stake, Sheel rather die then him forsake, To follow her Cavalilly man. O my dainty Cavalilly man, My finnikin Cavalilly man, For Gods Cause and the Protestants, I prethee le me gang with thee man.
