Merry Drollery Compleat (1691)/Bring forth your Cunny skins
A Catch.
Bring forth your Cunny skins, fair maids, to me,
And hold them fair that I may see
Gray, Black, and blew; for your smaller skins
I’ll give you Glasses, Laces, Pins:
And for your whole Cunny
I’ll give you ready money.
And hold them fair that I may see
Gray, Black, and blew; for your smaller skins
I’ll give you Glasses, Laces, Pins:
And for your whole Cunny
I’ll give you ready money.
Come, gentle Jone, do thou begin
With thy black, black, black Cunny skin,
And Mary then, and Kate will follow
With their silver’d-hair’d skins, and their yellow;
Your white Cunny-skin I will not lay by,
Though it be fat, it is fair to the Eye.
With thy black, black, black Cunny skin,
And Mary then, and Kate will follow
With their silver’d-hair’d skins, and their yellow;
Your white Cunny-skin I will not lay by,
Though it be fat, it is fair to the Eye.
Your gray is is warm, but for my money
Give me the bonny, bonny black Coney;
Come away, fair maids, your skins will decay,
Come and take money, maids, put your ware away.
I have fine Bracelets, Rings,
And I have silver Pins;
Give me the bonny, bonny black Coney;
Come away, fair maids, your skins will decay,
Come and take money, maids, put your ware away.
I have fine Bracelets, Rings,
And I have silver Pins;
Coney skins, Coney skins,
Maids, have you any Coney skins.
Maids, have you any Coney skins.
