(5) He lies as cold down by my ſide,

and turns him to the wa'.Sing high, &c.

O ſome they do adviſe me,

to drown him in a well,

And others do adviſe me,

to grind him in a mill. Sing high, &c.

But I took my own advice,

and took him to a plain,

I ty'd him to a windleſtraw,

and he ne'er return'd again. Sing high, &c.

An old man comes groaning in,

juſt as he wanted life;

The young man comes ſmirking in,

come kiſs me my ſweet wife.Sing, &c.

And when that we go to our bed,

we ly both ſnug and warm,

He kiſſes me, and claps me,

and takes me in his armsSing high, &c.

COLD WINTER NIGHT.

the cold Winter comes on,

and fortune runs hard by my ſide,

For to work at my trade, I've got none,

and the beſt of my friends I have try'd.

But he that is a friend to himſelf,

will provide for a cold winter day,

It will help him in time of his need,

when his friends they will frown him away.
