SONG
Calld Curling of the Hair.

YOY Ladies all who are in Fashion;
Both here and every whereo,
Who kills bright Beaus by Love-sick Passion
By buckling of their Hairo.
Tal, la, etc.

The Ladies Maid will immitate,
The Mistress in the Fairo,
The Footman with his Curling Irons,
To Buckle and Curl her Hairo.
Tnl, la, etc.

Theres Mistress Betty, a beautiful Lady,
Her Fortune one Hundred a Yearo,
She longs of the Squire, and begs of her mamy
To Buckle and Curl her Hairo.
Tal, la, etc.

The Mantua maker and mddest Quaker,
They all must have a Shareo,
In hopes to get some Lover True.
And charm some brisk young Hairo.
Tal, la, etc.

The Chemney Sweepers Daughter Sue,
She swears shell drive up the Rearo,
And tho shes neither Stocking nor Shoe,
Shell Buckle and Curl her Hairo.
Tal, la, etc.

Te-re Re-re, my Rump-Itches
Te-re Re-re, whereo;
Here and there and every where
And amongst the Tuft of Hairo.
Tal, la, etc.

The Collier has a beautiful Daughter,
She Swears shell drive up the Rearo.
Tho she has not a Smock to cover her garter
Shell Buckle and Curl her Hairo.
Tal, la, etc.

Theres Huge Matees and Sugar Loaf Caps
With nice Clock Stockings a Pairo;
And Hoops that are of a Monstrous size,
I long to stick a Pin thereo.
Tal, la, etc.

Ive got never a Penny of Money,
Nor never a Smock to wearo;
Nor never a Rag to cover my C------
But one poor Tuft of Hairo.
Tal, la, etc.

My Daddy left me twice Ten Pounds,
My Mammy a Horse and a Mairo,
But never a lad that ever I found,
Was able to Curl my Hairo.
Tal, la, etc.
