She went into the cellar
To draw a pot of ale,
With a, &c.
And the beggar follow'd after,
And did the joke again,
With his, &c.

He laid her on the ringle tree,
And gave her kisses three,
With his, &c.
And gave her twenty guineas
To pay the nurse's fee,
With his, &c.

Had you been an honest lass,
As I took you to be,
With a, &c.
You might have rode in your carriage,
And gone along with me,
With my, &c.

This beggar he took a horn,
And blew it wondrous shrill,
With his, &c.
And four-and-twenty belted knights
Came riding o'er the hill,
With his, &c.

Now if you are afraid
That you should miscall your child,
With his, &c.
You may call him for the daddy o't,
The great Duke of Argyle,
With his, &c.
