BOB and his LANDLADY; Or,
The young Soldier's Frolic,

Upon a march it was my lot
 a billet for to share,
Into an inn, which made me grin,
 to see my dame so fair;
My landlord he prov'd kind to me,
 and I got quarters there,
And it's true I kiss'd my landlady,
 let that stand there.
  Let that stand there, My dear,
   let that stand there,
  'Tis true I kiss'd my landlady,
   let that stand there.

Our lousy landlord blamed me,
 for doing of this deed,
Because I did relieve his wife,
 when in the time of need.
Being a petty constable,
 for him I did not care.
Its true I kiss'd his bonny wife,
 let that stand there.Let that &c.

Our orders were for Ireland,
 fresh quarters to prepare,
Which made my handsome landlady,
 begin to curse and swear;
