The fresh pettycoat one she had to your Was made of your own blanket bluish, The smock is actually as the black colored given that charcole, Trust me it was genuine; However, appealing words, have a tendency to lure young wild birds, That from the nest create travel, And I'll most likely never believ't are the first occasion You to she had started trapped from the kye. An excellent council, a people, We provide, For your requirements, young buck, We render, Never ever capture which have a good bob-tail'd lass As long as you have one hour to live on. You'd beter bring one that is best and you may tall, Even if she feel never ever therefore worst, To have We never ever is actually therefore disgraced in my lives As i try through this bob-tail'd whoore.
