THE
COALIER
LASSIE
A NEW SONG
To it's own proper Tune.
|
THe Coalier had a Daughter,
|
And she is wondrous bonny;
|
But if your had once brought her
|
To a true sense of Joy,
|
Although she strugle for a while
|
yet you'll won about her,
|
If once her Heart you can beguile
|
you'll never go without her.
|
Although at first she may deny,
|
yet you must pursue her:
|
Her Modesty will make her cry,
|
your Rudeness will undo her.
|
But with a forward brisk Address
|
unto the point intended;
|
First you must Kiss & then Caress,
|
and so the Matter's ended.
|
This was the method that I us'd
|
while she was denying;
|
And ay the more that she refus'd
|
the more I was applying:
|
Till the Key of her Virginity
|
to me she did deliver;
|
Tho' I like not the Affinity
|
to receive it was clever.
|
How happy then's the Landwart Laird
|
that is the Coaliers Master
|
For he may speak a word with her
|
when she lyes down to rest her.
|
And when her Father's at his Kaill,
|
and from his hand not mist her:
|
I'll warrand you she'll never fail
|
to thank the Lad last kist her.
