Jockie to the fair (1790)
“ They never have the least contest, But strive to please each other best,Since they came from the fair, &c. Each morn they rise to work with joy, And in the ev’ning kiss and toy, They swear their love shall never cloy, Whilst they do breath in air. Blyth Jenny loves her Jockie gay, And in her raptures oft doth say, I bless the happy hour and day, That I did wed and run away With Jockie to the fair, the fair, &c. This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
