He lies as cold down by my ſide,
and turns him to the wa'.Sing high, &c.
O ſome they do adviſe me,
to drown him in a well,
And others do adviſe me,
to grind him in a mill. Sing high, &c.
But I took my own advice,
and took him to a plain,
I ty'd him to a windleſtraw,
and he ne'er return'd again. Sing high, &c.
An old man comes groaning in,
juſt as he wanted life;
The young man comes ſmirking in,
come kiſs me my ſweet wife.Sing, &c.
And when that we go to our bed,
we ly both ſnug and warm,
He kiſſes me, and claps me,
and takes me in his armsSing high, &c.

The COLD WINTER NIGHT.
O NOW the cold Winter comes on,
and fortune runs hard by my ſide,
For to work at my trade, I've got none,
and the beſt of my friends I have try'd.
But he that is a friend to himſelf,
will provide for a cold winter day,
It will help him in time of his need,
when his friends they will frown him away.
