DEar jockeys gone to the Wood and Dame jennys gone twa, Dear jockey would Court a good, but Dame jenny says nay: Come jenny my dearest love, prihee jenny fancy me: Thou art the blithest bonniest Girl, And the featest Lass, that ere jockeys eyn see. When Jockey had Wood her thus, she said prithee forbear, Thou Jockey art false I fear, and would Jenny insnare:
Dear Jenny believe it not, that thy Jockey is untrue, For I do swear by all thats good, In this pleasent Wood, and by Bonnet thats Blew. O Jocky shame faw thy Luggs, for telling sike a Tale, It is not aw thy honey words, are like for to prevail: For Jenny is a harmless Lass, fearing for to be trappand, Although that Jockey is a Lad, But few like are to be had, in all fair Scotland.
MY Jenny ner make a Din, but let us gang play, Since that thou art so neat and trim upon this Holliday: Ile give thee ale and spiced cakes, I, and love the tenderly, There we have a merry bout, And keep a Revel Rout, under the Greenwood Tree. Dear Jockey I like it weel, a little sport to make, Yet do I fear that after all, poor Jennys heart sud ake: I wad not for a score of pounds, I should come unto disgrace, Then prithee Jockey get the gone, and leave thy Jenny all alone, in this uncouth place. O jenny ner tell me that, thy Jockeys sike a Loon, Thou needst not for to be afraid, by Jockey to lig down: For as I am a lively Lad, meaning to the honestly, Ile give the nothing that is bad, But the best that can be had, as Jenny shall see. O Jockey sud I beleive, tis sure what you say, And that you sud your Jenny leave, and basely gang away: My Jenny ile plight my Troth, ever to thee to be true,
Then beleive me what I say, For I scorn to gang away, to make my Jenny rue. Why sud I not now beleive, when dear Jockey does swear, By Bonnet and aw thats good, that ere Jockey shall wear? Then let us gang heam my dear, and be merry there awhile, I love the heartily my joy, Thou art the onely Boy, on whom Jenny shall smile. My Jenny thou chearst my heart, to give thy consent, Thy Jockey will never start, but give Jenny content: A Trenchmore Galiard we will have all for joy this very night, And ith morn wel gang to th Kirk Where ile see my Jenny smirk, as soon as daylight. Thus Jockey and Jenny beath, agreed for to be wed; For Jockey he thought it long to have Jenny in Bed: Next morning to the Kirk they went finely wedded for to be, And at this time are man & wife, Living free and void of strife, in their own Country.
