[Music ]
JOckey was a dawdy Lad,
And Jemmy swarth and Tawney;
They my Heart no Captive made,
For that was Prize to Sawney:
Jockey Woes, and Sighs and Sues,
And Jemmy offers Money;
Weel I see they both love me,
But I love only Sawney.
Jockey high his Voice can raise,
And Jemmy tunes the Viol;
But when Sawney Pipes sweet Lays,
My heart kens no denial:
One he Sings, and to'ther Strings,
Tho' sweet, yet only teaze me;
Sawney's Flute, can only do't,
And Pipe a Tune to please me.
