[ 4 ]

 Down in a pleaſant valley O,
I kiſs'd and clap'd my bonny laſs,
 The reſt I need not tell you,
Betwixt us two we got a lad,
 And that made me a daddy O,
I will provide for her a babe,
 And claid her like a lady O.
Becauſe ſhe mends my grey breeks,
 And clouted them ſo neatly;
I'll clade my laſs in handſome deeſs,
 In which ſhe'll look completely,
I'll take my laſſie to the Church,
 Make her an honeſt woman O,
By our induſtry we'll make rich,
 So our beſt days are coming O.
Becauſe ſhe ment my grey-breeks,
 And ſung of them ſo ſweetly O;
There's not a lad in all this land,
 She likes ſo well her Johnny O,
I'll take a craft and keep a cow,
 When we'll get milk in plenty O,
In truth we'll through the warld row,
 And feed on diſhes dainty O.
Becauſe ſhe ment my grey-breeks,
 And ſung of them ſo bonny O,
I'll make my laſſie bleſs the day,
 That e'er ſhe ſaw her Johnny O,
I'll make my laſſie bleſs the day,
 That e'er ſhe ſaw her Johnny O.
Now I'll lay by my grey-breeks,
 Which Molly ſo neatly clouted O,
