A NEW SONG of Mallinger,
OR,
The Female-Dear-Joy tricked of her Maiden-Head.
To a New Irish Tune.
|
AS I went to Mallinger Fair
|
with my Barrel of Bear,
|
I met with young Peggie,
|
who's Beautie was clear.
|
Ratting a rew
|
Ratting a Rew re rew re-rew re-rew,
|
Rating a Rew re-rew re-rew re-rew,
|
Fa re-rew re-rew re-reen
|
Fa re rew re rew re-reen,
|
Hay bew Hoi baen,
|
Ratting a rew.
|
Her Eyes they were black,
|
and her Face it was clear;
|
Her Lips was like Correll,
|
and white was her hair.
|
Ratting a rew, etc.
|
Her Voice sounded sweetly
|
as she went along,
|
For she was singing
|
a delicate Song.
|
Ratting a rew, etc.
|
Sweet Peggie said I,
|
your Beauty's so bright,
|
And your Voice is so sweet,
|
makes me wish for delight.
|
Ratting a rew, etc.
|
My Dearest said I,
|
let me kiss your white hand,
|
And all that I have
|
shall be at your Command.
|
Ratting a rew, etc.
|
Dear Peggie said I,
|
to the Tavern let us go,
|
A Bottle of Wine
|
I will on thee bestow.
|
Ratting a rew, etc.
|
I will give thee fine Rigging
|
and toping to wear,
|
And a pair of new gloves
|
at Mallinger Fair.
|
Ratting a rew, etc.
|
The more I did Court her,
|
the more she was shey;
|
Till at length I resolved
|
a Trick for to try.
|
Ratting a rew, etc.
|
Then I gave her a Kiss,
|
and well pleased was she,
|
And for to go with me
|
she straight did agree:
|
Ratting a rew, etc.
|
Alas my Dear Peggie
|
why are you so unkind,
|
For we shal be Married
|
when the D------ goes blind.
|
Ratting a rew, etc.
|
The sweetest Delight
|
that is under the Sun,
|
Is to lye by the Barrell
|
and see the Tap run.
|
Ratting a rew, etc.
|
But when we had Drunken
|
two Bottles of Wine,
|
I found my Dear Mistriss
|
both Loving and Kind.
|
Ratting a rew, etc.
|
I tipt her a Wenk,
|
and backward she fell,
|
And twenty weeks after
|
her Belly did swell.
|
Ratting a rew, etc.
|
And twenty weeks after
|
she sat down and cry'd,
|
It's this I have gotten
|
by strydling so wide.
|
Ratting a Rew,
|
Ratting a Rew re rew re-rew re-rew,
|
Ratting a Rew re-rew re rew re-rew,
|
Fa re rew re rew re-reen,
|
Fa re rew re-rew re reen,
|
Hay bew Hoi baen;
|
Ratting a Rew.
