My DOG and I:
We write no Frights on Dutch or French,
No Cousters of a handsome Wench,
No Monstrous Wonders in the Air,
No Persons Dying in Dispair,
Nor any Thing under the Sky,
But only my Dog and I.
Tune is, My DOG and I; or, Bobbing JONE.
|
YOU that are of the merry Throng,
|
Give good Attention to my Song,
|
Ill give you weighty Reasons why,
|
Tis made upon my Dog and I;
|
My Dog and I[,] my Dog and I,
|
Tis made upon my Dog and I.
|
I of no doged Nature am,
|
But loving, gentle, kind, and tame,
|
And have no bigger Family,
|
But only Two, my Dog and I;
|
My Dog, etc.
|
I livd at Home, I livd at large,
|
A single Life, and had no Charge;
|
And if a Wench I chancd to spy,
|
To her went my Dog and I:
|
My Dog, etc.
|
I lovd a Maid, her Name was Nell,
|
A bonny Lass, I lovd her well;
|
If youd needs know the Reason why,
|
Because she lovd my Dog and I:
|
My Dog and I, my Dog and I,
|
Because she lovd my Dog and I.
|
My Dog and I have got a Trick,
|
To cure Maids when they are sick,
|
When they are sick, and like to die,
|
Then thither goes my Dog and I:
|
My Dog and I, my Dog and I,
|
Then thither goes my Dog and I.
|
But if the Weather proves foul and wet,
|
My Dog he shall not wet his Feet;
|
But if the Weather proves fair and dry,
|
Then a Whistling goes my Dog and I:
|
My Dog, etc.
|
If any Maidens troubled be,
|
With over-grown Virginity,
|
I quickly can two Pills apply,
|
Conceald by my Dog and I:
|
My Dog, etc.
|
If the Green-sickness have possest,
|
A dainty dapper Damsels Breast,
|
Ill cure her ont immediately,
|
With nothing but my Dog and I:
|
My Dog, etc.
|
If Women are in Distress,
|
By Reason of their Barronness,
|
I can a proper Dose apply,
|
Best known unto my Dog and I:
|
My Dog, etc.
|
From Fifteen unto Fifty I,
|
Can give a Woman Remedy;
|
But if they up to Threescore fly,
|
Theres no Game for my Dog and I:
|
My Dog, etc.
|
When Mars commanded; we did go
|
Unto the Wars in Forty Two;
|
Well never fear in Field to die,
|
But out well go, my Dog and I:
|
My Dog, etc.
|
There was a Time when Reble rout,
|
Did fear Prince Rupert and his Days,
|
Tis dangerous when two Hearts comply,
|
Especially my Dog and I:
|
My Dog, etc.
|
We Night and Day do take no Rest,
|
If we can hear of any Feast,
|
And where good Fellows I espy,
|
There goes in my Dog and I:
|
My Dog, etc.
|
My Living lies in every Nook,
|
My Dog is Catorer and Cook;
|
For he at every Game can fly,
|
No Fellow to my Dog and I:
|
My Dog, etc.
|
By Day to play the Pime is taught,
|
I fear tis many Gallants Fate,
|
Near Hatten-Wall such Whores do lie,
|
Are fitter for my Dog then I.
|
My Dog, etc.
|
Thus have we livd, thus have we lovd,
|
And faithful to each other provd,
|
Whilst many Thieves are hangd on high,
|
No Law can touch my Dog and I:
|
My Dog, etc.
|
If Death do come as it may hap,
|
My Grave shall be under the Tap,
|
With folded Arms there we will lie,
|
Cheek by Jowl, my Dog and I:
|
My Dog and I, my Dog and I,
|
Cheek by Jowl my Dog and I.
