[Single stanza with music from George Gardiner Manuscript Collection (GG/1/21/1427).
R. Matteson 2017]
No Sir No- sung by Joseph Read of Trowbridge Workhouse, Wiltshire on 19 August, 1909.
1. In old Trowbridge town is a fair little maiden,
But how to gain her I did not know
But I'll go court her for her beauty,
Although she always answers No.
CHORUS: No sir no! No sir, no!
Always the maiden answered No.
