 So I'll go ſeek out for a friend,

if that I can find any;

But I conclude now in the end,

there's none like Ready Money

Once on a time I tir'd my horſe,

when I was on my travel,

My money being ſpent and gone,

it gave to me the gravel:

So loud I did for vengeance call,

for things I wanted many;

But nothing I could obtain at all,

without the Ready Money.

Now in ſhort time I return'd again,

becauſe I was a debtor;

With more than I had had before,

for times were growing better:

They call'd me a right honeſt man,

when I paid them ev'ry penny,

The landlord would draw his quarts full,

when he ſaw my ready money.

Suppoſe I ſhould deſire a Mifs,

carrouſing there ſo merry,

Then in ſhe comes with all her ſilks,

and drinks both ſack and cherry:

She does both hug and kiſs me,

and calls me her dear honey:

So long as ever ſhe could ſee

I had plenty of Ready Money.

So let a man go where he will,

or where he has occaſion,
