HANDSOME COBLER AND THE
LOVELY CHAMBER-MAID
HANDSOME COBLER AND THE
LOVELY CHAMBER-MAID
ALL you that delight in merriment,
come listen to my song,
’Tis very new, and certain true;
ye need not tarry long,
Before you laugh your belly full:
I pray be pleas’d to stay,
I’m sure you will be pleased,
before you go away.
There was an old Knight in Derbyshire,
who had a handsome son,
He kept a handsome chambermaid,
who had his favour won;
They dearly lov’d each other,
and to their love gave way,
Until she fell with child to him;
pray mind what I shall say.
In tears she told the story,
My dearest love, said she.
I am no less than twenty weeks
