THE CORONATION.

At home in our village when we'd done our daily labour,
The barber every night would read the news to each good neighbour;
heard it all, I did not wait for feyther's approbation,
started up to Lunnon town to see the Coronation.

Tol lol lol, &c.



Well, there I got, and just at first I felt myself quite flustered,
To see all round Westminster, such lots of people mustered;
But, howsomdever, in the crowd I got myself a station,
And there I waited anxiously to see the Coronation.

Tol lol lol, &c.



Somehow a soldier's prancing horse, he took fright at a dandy,
And capered in among the crowd, so frolicsome and handy—
