Y Father he's a gentleman,

a gentleman was he,

He married me to an old man,

that was three-ſcore and three.

Chorus. Sing high Jenny, high,

and ſing low Jenny low:

For I'll never wed an old man,

for any thing I know.

As I'am two and twenty,

in my virginity,

Which cauſes me to differ,

and we can ne'er agree.Sing high, &c.

I'd rather have a young man,

as much ſo like myſelf,

Or I would have an old man,

with all his mouldy pelf. Sing high, &c.

I'd rather have a young man,

within a ſuit of ſilk,

Or I would have an old man,

with forty cows to milk.Sing high, &c.

I'd rather have a young man,

with a roſe in his hand,

Or I would have an old man

with fifty ploughs of land.Sing high, &c.

The old man when he comes to bed,

he can do nought at a';
