Tom and Dolly
1. WHEN the cows had given a pailful,
And the ewes came blearing home,
Dolly thinking ’twould be healthful,
Went a-walking with young Tom
Hand in hand Sir o'er the land, Sir
As they walked to and fro,
Tom made love to Dolly,
But she answer'd No, no, no, no Tom,
No Tom, no Tom, no Tom no.
