Summary

Three new songs (1800)

And O for a kiss of my Sally, I’d freely give half a year’s wage.
When I look to the bonny black mountain, and o’er the hills far away,
There’s not such a place in the nation, for there lives sweet Sally Gray.

Three new songs (1800)

The great city wax work, was all a mere ax-work,
A plan to bamboozle me out of my pelf,
Says I, Mrs Salmon, cut up your gammon,
You figures, are no more alive than yourself.
I ax'd an old quaker the way to long Acre

He took sweet William for his wife
The like before was never seen,
A servant man become a queen.
