My name is Robin A'boon,
 * my age is twenty and four,

I married last midsummer morn,
 * for the sake of a plentiful store.

My wife she's decripped and old,
 * and scarce has an eye for to see

But I knew she had plenty of gold,
 * or the d—l should have had her for me.

Though I be young brany, and fat,
 * and Dolly my comical bride,

Her locks are as grey as a rat.
 * and her nose it stands all on one side:

I stroak'd her old cheek with my hand,
 * in a few words we soon did agree,

My wife has abundance of gold,
 * or the d—I shonld have had her for me.

The very first visit I paid.
 * she gave me a delicate ring,

So lovingly as we did agree,
 * oh! then she began for to sing.
