Unfortunate Lover:
OR,
Merry ANDREWs sad and wofull Lamentati-
on for the Loss of his Sweetheart JOAN.
To the Tune of, I marry and thank ye too. Licensed according to Order.
|
ALas I am come to Town,
|
and here make pitifull moan,
|
For having rambled up and down
|
cant find out my true Love Joan.
|
I came to Bartholomew Fair,
|
and searchd that Place alone,
|
Expecting to have found her there,
|
my delicate Sweetheart Joan.
|
I am in a pitifull Case,
|
and shall be overhthrow,
|
I have made many a sowre Face,
|
for want of my true Love Joan.
|
In Bed I can take no rest,
|
but tumble and toss alone,
|
A thousand Torments in my Breast
|
for want of my Sweetheart Joan.
|
To Love I am so enclind,
|
and daily do make sad moan,
|
And quite distracted in my mind,
|
for want of my true Love Joan.
|
Shes as sweet as a sucking Pig,
|
for her I do make my moan;
|
I long to Dance the Wedding-Jig
|
along with my Sweetheart Joan.
|
I wander the silent Grove,
|
and make most piteous moan,
|
I am over head and ears in Love,
|
and all for my Sweetheart Joan.
|
For she was as sweet a bit,
|
as ever by me was known,
|
Her precious Smiles I cant forget,
|
Oh, where is my Sweetheart Joan.
|
Her Lips they were Cherry red,
|
she had but one fault alone,
|
A little Child eer she was Wed,
|
my delicate Sweetheart Joan.
|
I like her never the worse,
|
the Childs a Champion grown,
|
By being well brought up at Nurse,
|
But where is my Sweetheart Joan.
|
To speak of her Beauty bright,
|
there hardly is such a One,
|
Her pleasant Charms dos dim my sight,
|
my delicate Sweetheart Joan.
|
At once she looks North and South,
|
her Beauty I needs must own,
|
She has a pretty Sparrows Mouth,
|
my delicate Sweetheart Joan.
|
Her pretty sweet Beetle-brow,
|
but Teeth she has not one;
|
She is as slender as a Cow,
|
my delicate Sweetheart Joan.
|
Her Hairs as black as a Cole,
|
for her I do make sad moan,
|
I fear some Lord or Earl has stole
|
my delicate Sweetheart Joan.
