Jenny, My Blithest Maid
Jenny, my blithest maid,
Prithee listen to my true love now:
I am a canny lad—
Gang along with me to yonder brow.
Aw the boughs shall shade us round,
While the nightingale and linnet teach us
How the lad the lass may woo:
Come, and I'll show my Jenny how to do.
I ken full many a thing:
I can dance, and can whistle too,
I many a song can sing,
Pitch-bar, and run, and wrestle too.
Bonny Mog of our town
Gave me bead-laces and kerchers many:
Only Jenny 'twas could win
Jockey from aw the lasses of the Green.
Then lie thee down, my beam,
Ize not spoil thy gaudy shining gear:
I'll make a bed of fern,
And I'll gently press my Jenny there!
Let me lift thy petticoat,
And thy kercher too that hides thy bosom:
Show thy naked beauty's store—
Jenny alone's the lass that I adore!
