TWa Bonny Ladds were Sawny and Jockey, but Jockey was Lod and Sawny unlucky; Yet Sawny was tall, well-favourd and witty, But Is in my heart thought Jockey more pritty: For when he viewd me, sud me, wood me, never was Ladd so like to undo me: Fie I cryd, and almost dyd, least Jockey woud gang and come no mere to me.
(2) [Joc]key would Love, but he would not Marry, [An]d I was afraid that I shoud miscarry; [For] his cunning Tongue with Wit was so guilded, [Th]at I had a dread my heart woud a yielded: [Da]yly he prest me, blest me, kist me, [Los]t was the hour methought when he mist me; [Cr]ying, denying, and sighing, I wood him, [An]d mickle adoe I had to get from him. (3) [Bu]t unlucky Fate robbd me of my Jewel, [For] Sawny would make him fight in a Duel; [Th]en down in a Dale with Cyprus surrounded, [Oh]! there in my sight poor Jockey was wounded: [Bu]t when he thrilld him, felld him, killd him, [Wh]ho can express my grief that beheld him? [Ra]ging, I tore my Hair to bind him, [An]d vowed and swore Ide ner stay behind him. (4) [Ise] shriekd and Ise cryd, waes me so unhappy, [For] Ise now have lost mine nene sweet Jockey: [Sa]wny I curst, and bid him to flye me, [I v]owd and I swore he shoud ner come nigh me, [Bu]t Id spight him, hate him, fight him, [An]d never again woud Jenny like him: [Th]ough he did sigh and almost dye, [He] cryd fie on me, cause I did slight him. (5) [An]d from me Ise bid him straightway be ganging, [W]hen with arms a cross, and head down hanging: [W]hilst that my poor Jockey was a dying, [He] to the Woods then departed sighing: [An]d his breath wanted, panted, fainted, [W]hilst that for him my tears were not scanted: [Is]e beat my breast, and my grief expressed, [W]aes me that Death my joy has suppressed.
(6) At which my Jockey a little reviving, And with Death as it were he lay then striving, Opend his Eyes and looked upon me. And faintly sighd, Ah! Death has undone me: Jenny my Honey Ise must part from thee, But when Im dead, sure theres none will wrong thee, I did love thee, and that did move me To Fight, that so a man Ise might prove me. (7) But ah cruel Fate to Death I am wounded, Oh! and with that again he then swounded; Whilst for to dress his wound I applyd me, But wae alas his Life was denyd me: Death had appauld him, gauld him, thralld him, So that he dyd, with grief I beheld him: And left poor Jenny all a mourning, And cruel Sawny cursing and scorning. (8) From Jockies cold Lips I often stole Kisses, The which whilst he lived were still my blisses: A thousand time I did sob, sigh it, And mickle ado Ise had to be quiet: For as I eyd him, spyd him, plyd him, Never a thought could then pass beside him: Ise bann the Fates that Life denying, Had robbd me of Jockey, and long I sat sighing. (9) Till Ise at last with Cyprus crownd him, And with my tears Ise almost crownd him: The Turtles about us then came flying, And mourning, cood, to seem a sighing: Ise viewd him, rud him, with flowers strewd him, And with my love to the last pursud him: Resolving that Ise not stay behind him, But sighing, dye, and seek for to find him.
