When ev’ry lass had a spark,
but nobody comes to me.

When ev’ry lass had a spark,
but nobody comes to me.
And it’s oh! dear, what will become of me?
Oh! dear, what shall I do?
Nobody coming to marry me,
Nobody coming to woo.
Oh! dear, what shall I do?
Nobody coming to marry me,
Nobody coming to woo.
My father’s a hedger and ditcher,
my mother does nothing but spin,
And I’m a pretty young girl,
but the money come slowly in.
And it’s oh! dear, &c.

They say I’m beauteous and fair,
they say I’m scornful and proud;
Alas! I must now despair,
for, ah ! I am grown very old.

And now I must die an old maid!
O dear! how shocking the thought!
And all my beauty must fade,
but I’m sure it is not my fault.
