Lancashire Lass



Here's to the maid in Lancashire Town

Here's to the maid in the cadelico

I vow and declare he loved her so dear

Cause she did wear pretty caps upon her hair



Fol the dol the day



Says Master unto Missus I'm going out of town

Says Missus unto Betsy, You go unto your bed

And I for your Master

Will wait up in your stead.



Twelve o'clock came and knock was at the door

Missus went out to see who was there

And on the cold ground he tumbled her down

And into her hand he put half a crown



Horses out in stable a making of a noise

Master went out to see who was there

Missus cropped upstairs and laughed at the fun

To think how the maid and the master was undone



Next morning at breakfast the bell she did ring

Saying here's half a crown that your master gave to me

And many a bright crown has he turned unto thee



She tooked her by the shoulders and led her to the door

Saying There's no home for a wife and a wench

For all this long time I never can endure

For I can't come in for a morsel of my share



And all that they done, they done in a month

And after that they turned bump to bump.



Fol the dol day
