“ Before I lie one night with you, at either stock or wall.
It's for my breakfast you must get a bird without a bone,
And for my dinner you must get a cherry without a stone,
And for my supper you must get a bird without a gall,
Before I lie one night with you, at either stock or wall.
When the bird is in the egg, it really has no bone,
When the cherry is in the blossom it really has no stone,
The dove she is a gentle bird, she flies without a gall
So you and I in bed must lie, and you lie next the wall. ”
