ALas I am come to Town, and here make pitifull moan, For having rambled up and down can't find out my true Love Joan. I came to Bartholomew Fair, and search'd that Place alone, Expecting to have found her there, my delicate Sweetheart Joan.
I am in a pitifull Case, and shall be overthrown, I have made many a sowre Face, for want of my true Love Joan. In Bed I can take no rest, but tumble and toss alone, A thousand Torments in my Breast for want of my Sweetheart Joan.
To Love I am so enclin'd, and daily do make sad moan, And quite distracted in my mind, for want of my true Love Joan. She's as sweet as a sucking Pig, for her I do make my moan; I long to Dance the Wedding-Jig along with my Sweetheart Joan. I wander the silent Grove, and make most piteous moan, I am over head and ears in Love, and all for my Sweetheart Joan. For she was as sweet a bit, as ever by me was known, Her precious Smiles I can't forget, Oh, where is my Sweetheart Joan. Her Lips they were Cherry red, she had but one fault alone, A little Child e'er she was Wed, my delicate Sweetheart Joan.
I like her never the worse, the Child's a Champion grown, By being well brought up at Nurse, But where is my Sweetheart Joan: To speak of her Beauty bright, there hardly is such a One, Her pleasant Charms do's dim my sight, my delicate Sweetheart Joan. At once she looks North and South; her Beauty I needs must own, She has a pretty Sparrows Mouth, my delicate Sweetheart Joan. Her pretty sweet Beetle-brow, but Teeth she has not one; She is as slender as a Cow, my delicate Sweetheart Joan. Her Hair's as black as a Cole, for her I do make sad moan, I fear some Lord or Earl has stole my delicate Sweetheart Joan.
