and lay her next the wa'.

O hold away from me kind Sir,
I pray you let me be ;
For I will not go to your bed,
till you dress me dishes three ;
Dishes three you must dress to me,
and I must have them a ,
Before that I lie in your bed,
either at stock or wa’.

O I must have to my supper
a cherry without a stone,
And I must have to my supper
a chicken without a bone ;
And I must have to my supper
a bird wi hout a ga',
Before I he into your bed
either at stock or wa‘,

When the cherry is in the bloom,
I’m sure it hath no stone ,
And when the chicken is in it's shell,
I’m sure it hath no bone ;
The dove it is a gentle bird,
it flies without a ga’
And we shall both lie in ae bed,
and thou s lie next the wa’.

Hold away from me, kind Sir.

I pray you give me o’er,
