THere was a Lass in London Town; both beauteous, fair and witty, She travel'd England up and down, through e'ry Town and City: She got money by't, she got money by't, she got money by'th bargain; she got money by't, she got money by't, four-pence-half-penny farthing.
At last she came to Sturbridge-Fair, and there she met a Farmer, Who did desire to know her name, and swore he would not harm her: But she got money by't, she got money by't, she got money by'th bargain, She got money by't, she got money by't, four-pence-half-penny farthing.
SHe told him she was kind and just, and ne'r would do no Evil, Her hand she in his Pocket thrust, which was indeed uncivil; But she got money by't, she got money by't, she got money by'th bargain; She got money by't, she got money by't, four-pence-half-penny Farthing. She told him then she was in haste, and so from him she parted, Who little thought to be disgrac'd, when she had him deserted; But she got money by't, she got money by't, she got money by'th bargain; She got money by't, she got money by't, four-pence-half-penny Farthing. But when the Reckoning came to pay, the Farmer mist his Money, Oh, then, quoth he, she's gone away, whom I call'd dear and Honey; But she got money by't, she got money by't, she got money by'th bargain; She got money by't,-she got money by't, four-pence-half penny farthing. The Farmer he a Stranger was, and so at last they Stocks'd him, But this was not the worst, alas! the wicked Jade had Pox'd him; But she got money by't, she got money by't, she got money by'th bargain; She got money by't, she got money by't, four-pence-half-penny farthing.
She travel'd then to Bristol-Fair, and there she met a Barber, Tho gaz'd upon her Beauty fair, love in his Breast did harbor; But she got money by't, she got money by't, she got money by'th bargain; She got money by't, she got money by't, four pence-half-penny farthing. The Barber was exceeding kind, and monstrously did praise her, But he did in conclusion find that she had spoyl'd his Razor; But she got money by't, she got money by't, she got money by'th bargain; She got money by't, she got money by't, four-pence-half-penny farthing. She saw a Cobler brisk and free, a sitting in his Stall too, With him she would Familiar be; while he was at his Awl too; But she got money by't, she got money by't, she got money by'th bargain; She got money by't, she got money by't, four-pence-half-penny farthing. Thus you may see some London Dames, that live about the City, By such like Tricks procure their shames, but 'tis the more the pitty; Yet they get money by't, they get money by't, they get money by'th bargain; They get money by't, they get money by't, four-pence-half-penny farthing.
