Did ever a swain a nymph adoie,

as I ungrateful Nanny did?

Was ever shepherd's heart so sore,

or ever broken heart so true?

My cheeks are swell'd with tears but she

Has never wet cheek for me.

If Nanny call’d, did e'er I stay,

or linger when she bid me run?

She only had the word to say

and all she wish'd was quickly done,

I always think on her but she

Does ne’er bestow a thought on me

To let her cows my clover taste,

have I got ros by break of day?

Did ever Nanny’s heifers fast,

if Robin in his barn bad hay?

Tho' to my fields they welcome were,

I ne'er was welcome yet to her.

If ever Nanny lost a sheep

I cheerfully did give her tow;
