ROBIN A'BOON.
My name is Robin A'boon,
my age is twenty and four,
I married last midsummer morn,
for the sake of a plentiful store.
My wife she's decripped and old,
and scarce has an eye for to see
But I knew she had plenty of gold,
or the d—l should have had her for me.
Though I be young brany, and fat,
and Dolly my comical bride,
Her locks are as grey as a rat.
and her nose it stands all on one side:
I stroak'd her old cheek with my hand,
in a few words we soon did agree,
My wife has abundance of gold,
or the d—I shonld have had her for me.
The very first visit I paid.
she gave me a delicate ring,
So lovingly as we did agree,
oh! then she began for to sing.
