W:1
W:Ho boy! Hey boy! Come, come away boy!
W:And bring me my longing desire:
W:A lass that is neat, and can well do the feat
W:When lusty young blood is on fire!
W:
W:2.
W:Let her body be tall, And her waist be small,
W:And her age not above eighteen:
W:Let her care for no bed, but here let spread
W:Her mantle upon the Green.
W:
W:3
W:Let her face be fair, And her breasts be bare,
W:And a voice let her have that can warble;
W:Let her belly be soft - but, to mount me aloft,
W:Let her bounding buttocks be marble!
W:
W:4
W:Let her have a cherry lip, Where I nectar may sip,
W:Let her eyes be as black as a sloe;
W:Dangling locks I do love, so that those hang above
W:Are the same with what grows below.
W:
W:5
W:Oh, such a bonny lass, May bring wonders to pass,
W:And make me grow younger & younger:
W:And whene'er we do part, she'll be mad at the heart
W:That I'm able to tarry no longer.
