CHERRY RIPE.

Cherry ripe, cherry ripe, ripe I cry;
Full and fair ones come and buy.
Cherry ripe, cherry ripe, ripe I cry;
Full and fair ones come and buy.
If so be you ask me where
They do grow, I answer there,
Where the sunbeams sweetly smile,
There’s the land or cherry isle.
Cherry ripe, &c.

Where the sunbeams sweetly smile,
There’s the land or cherry isle.
There plantations fully show
All the year where cherries grow.
Cherry ripe, cherry ripe, ripe I cry,
Full and fair ones come and buy,
Full and fair ones come and buy.

FINIS.
