He whip'd on his Fore Horse, he jingl'd his Bells,
Such Music ye Eunuchs, your Music excels,
She kept Time to his Tuning, and sigh'd at each Sound,
O dear says she, Robin, the Waggon goes round,
  Geehup Robin, gehup, geeho.

She met him half Way with a Kiss and a Squeeze,
And innocent lisp'd out, well, do what you please;
Then softly fell backwards, and bid him go on,
But his Whip Handle broke, and his driving was done,
  Ah poor Robin, geehup, geeho.

Adzooks, crys Robin, my Geer is not tight,
But lend me your Hand Lass, I'll set it to right,
With a sweet Compliance she assisted the Swain,
And then he went driving, and driving again,
  With geehup Robin, geehup geeho.


The Gypsie Laddie.

The Gypsies came to our Lord's Gate,
And vow but they sang bonny;
They sang sea sweet, and fae very compleat,
That down came the fair Lady.

And she came tripping down the Stairs,
And a' her Maids before her;
As soon as they saw her well-far'd Face,
They coolt some Glamer o'er her.

Gae take frae me this gay Mantile,
And bring to me a Plaidie,
For if Kich and Kin and a' had sworn,
I'll follow the Gypsie Laddie.
