When ſhe goes to the well, it is I that can tell what deeds there are done! When ſhe comes home ſhe lays down her jug, and both kiſs ane hug, when we are alone, When the goes to the river, I am very clever, in helping her home. You teazing young devil, I pray you be civil, and let me go home. Then on the ground he laid her down, where horſes do ſtray : Lie ſtill little woman, there's nobody coming but Johnny Magee. When Doll comes in ſhe lilis up a ſong, Saying, I will be married befor it be long; Next Valentine day, I will be ſingle and free, And take a carrant with young Johnny Magee
