The new way of
JOCKY Blyth and Gay,
A Song much in Request
To an Excellent new Tune.
|
BLyth Jockie young and gay,
|
Is all my hearts delight,
|
He's all my talk by Day,
|
And in my Dreams by night.
|
If from the Lad I be,
|
It's Winter then with me;
|
But when he's with me here,
|
'Tis Summer all the year.
|
When Jockie and I did meat
|
First in the shady Groves
|
Humbly he did me greet,
|
And sweetly talkt of Love.
|
You are the Lass said he,
|
That stole my heart from me,
|
Now ease me of my pain,
|
And do not me disdain.
|
I'm blyth when Jockie comes,
|
Sad when he gangs away.
|
'Tis night when Jockie glooms,
|
But when he smiles 'tis day.
|
Where're we meet I pant,
|
I Colour Sigh and Fant;
|
What Lass that would be kind,
|
Can better tell her mind.
|
He was a Bony Lad
|
As ever I did see,
|
He made my Heart so glad,
|
When first he Courted me,
|
I could not well deny,
|
But soon I did comply.
|
So Jockie promised me,
|
That he would faithful be.
|
Jockie did promise me,
|
That he would still be true,
|
But to my greif I fear,
|
He hath bid me adue;
|
Jockie and I did play,
|
And pass the time away,
|
But now he's false foresworn,
|
Hath left me here to Mourn.
|
Now Jockie hath a Love,
|
That is more rich than I,
|
He doth so cruel prove,
|
To shun my Company;
|
And if I chance for to meet
|
My Jockie in the Street,
|
He will not stop nor stay,
|
But Proudly goes his way.
|
My heart is like to break,
|
Since he is so unkind,
|
What course now shall I take,
|
To ease my troubled mind;
|
I sigh, I sob, I Mourn,
|
I dayly Rage and Burn;
|
But yet this Cruel he,
|
Laughs at my Misery.
|
Once in a Month he sends
|
A Letter unto me,
|
Swearing he still intends
|
To Love me Heartily;
|
But when I come in place,
|
And do behold his face;
|
He doth no notice take,
|
Which makes my heart to break.
|
Sometimes when Jockie Smils,
|
I think he's true to me,
|
But of him I'm beguil'd,
|
By his false Flatterie;
|
But when he frowns on me,
|
No Comfort can I see;
|
Let him be false or kink,
|
He still is in my mind.
