New pettycoat one to she had into the Was developed of your blanket bluish, The newest smock was once the black since the charcole, Trust in me it was correct; However, appealing words, have a tendency to tempt younger wild birds, That from their nest manage fly, And you may I'll never believ't was the first time You to she got come caught throughout the kye. A great council, an effective man, I provide, To you personally, young buck, I promote, Never grab having an effective bob-tail'd lass For as long as you have an hour or so to live on. You'd beter get one that's proper and significant, Regardless of if she getting never thus terrible, Having I never ever was so disgraced in my lives Once i is actually by this bob-tail'd whoore.
