Stand you there my noble boy, I thank you for your care,
If you would done as I would done, I would not left you there.
And sing dear away the morning dew, &c.

You’ll put off your hose and shoes, and iet your feet go bare;
But if you meet a pretty girl, O touch her if you dare.
And sing clear away the morning dew, &c.

I will not cast off my hose nor shoes, nor let my feet go bare;
But if I meet a pretty girl, I’ll trim her to a hair.
And sing clear away the morning dew, &c.

There is a flower in our garden, they call it marigold,
And he that would not when he could, he should not when he would.
And sing clear away the morning dew, &c.

FINIS.
