(1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent, And I told the landlady me money was spent<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I asked her for credit, she answered me „Nay!“, „Such custom as yours I could have any day!“<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took out of me pocket ten sovereigns bright, and the landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said: „I have whiskeys and wines on the best!, and the words that I told you were only in jest!“<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll go home to my parents, confess what I’ve done, and ask them to pardon their prodigal son<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when they’ve caressed me as oftimes before, I never will play the wild rover no more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
