Saying Jack won't you marry me dear Jack don't you know

The drums did beat and the trumpets did sound,
And home to old England they were all call'd along,
It's now they're landed over, the people all went to see,
Saying yonder comes the heroes from the wars of Germany

As they walked up the streets her father she did know,
Saying, good old merchant will you list with Munro.
It's out bespoke her mother I had a daughter gay,
There's not a feature in her face but resembles

It's now they are got married and she lies by his side,
The officers and privates begrudge Jack of his bride,
When the Queen she heard of this she laughed heartily,
Saying here is 50 guineas I'll give to this lady.


THE MAID IN BEDLAM.

One morning very early.
One morning in the spring,
I heard a maid in Bedlam,

Who mournfully did sing,
