Bairn, by thy face I will beware; Like Sirens' words, I'll come not near, My babe and I together will live; He'll comfort me when cares do grieve. My babe and I right soft will lie, And ne'er respect man's cruelty Balow, la-low'
Farewell, farewell, the falsest youth That ever kibt a woman's mouth! I wish all maids be warn'd by me Never to trust man's curtesy, For if we do but chance to bow, They'll use us then they care not how Balow, la-low'
