 'TWAS on the morn of ſweet May day
 * when nature painted all things gay,

Taught birds to ſing and lambs to play
 * And gild the meadows fair;

Young Jockey early on the morn,

Aroſe, and tript it o'er the lawn His Sunday's coat the youth put on, For Jenny had vow'd away to run
 * With Jockey to the Fair;
 * For Jenny had vow'd

The cheerful pariſh bells had rung, With eager ſteps he trudg'd along With flowery garlands round him hung
 * Which shepherds us'd to wear;

He tapt the window Haſte my dear, Jenny impatient cried, Who's there? 'Tis I, my love, and no one near, Step gently down you've not to fear,
 * With Jockey to the Fair;
 * Step gently down, &.

My dad and mammy's faſt aſleep My brother's up and with the ſheep And will you ſtill your promiſe keep,
 * Which I have you ſwear,
