The Answer.

AS Robin was Driving his Waggon along,
The Trees in full Bloom, and the Birds in full song;
The yelolw Corn nodded, and wav'd to and fro,
To his Team he kept Whistling,
  With geehup, geewoa, &c.

A Maid he over took, and he walk'd by her Side,
The Road was too dusty, he ask'd her to ride;
Then lifted her up, she lay at her Ease,
He begg'd to ligg by her, she laid if you please.
  Geehup Robin, &c.

His Waggon he stop'd, and his Leg o'er her laid,
Oh! what are your doing? then whisper'd the Maid,
She struggl'd, she threaten'd, she vow'd she'd begone,
'Till fainter and fainter she cry'd out, Drive on,
  Drive on Robin, geeho, geeho.

He whip'd on his Fore Horse, he jingl'd his Bells,
Such Music ye Eunuchs, your Music excels,
She kept Time to his Tuning, and sigh'd at each Sound,
O dear says she, Robin, the Waggon goes round,
  Geehup Robin, gehup, geeho.

She met him half Way with a Kiss and a Squeeze,
And innocent lisp'd out, well, do what you please;
Then softly fell backwards, and bid him go on,
But his Whip Handle broke, and his driving was done,
  Ah poor Robin, geehup, geeho.

Adzooks, crys Robin, my Geer is not tight,
But lend me your Hand Lass, I'll set it to right,
With a sweet Compliance she assisted the Swain,
And then he went driving, and driving again,
  With geehup Robin, geehup geeho.
