 (6) My daddy and mammy they often us'd to ſay That I was a naughty boy. & us'd to run away, If they bid me go to work, I'd ſooner go to play Down’amongſt the bonny beds of roses. If I had cen thousand bright guineas in fore, I would give it all to the giri I adore; I would give it all, and twice as much more, And a chariot of gold for to ride in. No nymph on the plain wi' my love can compare With a comb ſet wi' diamond I'll plait her hair, Of all love's enjoyments my love ſhe ſhall ſhare, Down amongst the bonny beds of roses. No creature on earth is ſo happy as me, While my charming girl is ſet on my knee, A ſmile or a kss bring fresh pleasure to me, Down amongst the bonny beds of roses. My daddy may fret, and my mammy may frown, For to walk with my true love loll venture alone, Fat lock d in my arms all one love we will own Down amongſt the bonny beds of roſes. If ever I marry, I'll marry in May, When flowers are ſpringing, delightful & gay, Then my true love and I will dance, ſing & play, Down amonſt the bonny beds of roſes. Then away to the church we'll walk with an air, Kind Hymen proclaim us to be the happy pair,
