 ( 6 ) My daddy and mammy they often us’d to fay, That I was a naughty boy, and us’d to run away. If they bid me go to work,I wou’d looner go to play, Down amongft the bonny beds of rofes.

I If I had ten thoufand bright guineas laid in ftore, I would give it all to the girl 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 p'ain with my love can compare, With a comb fet with diamond - I’ll plait up her hair Of all love’s enjoymants my love fhe fhall fhare, Down amongft the banny bitds of rofes,

No creature on earth is fo happy as me, While my charming young girl is let on my knee, A fhine er a kifs bring frah pleafure to me, Dawn amongft the bonny beds of rofes.

My daddy may fiet and my mammy-may frown, For to walk with my true-love I’ll venture alone, Faft lock’d in my all one love we will own, Does amongft the bonny beds of rofes.

If ever I marry. I’ll marry in May, When die flowers are fpringing,delightful & c gay, Then my true love and I will dance, fing and play, Down amorgft the bonny beds of rofes.
