Shirley Collins - Lancashire Lass lyrics
Here's to the lass in Lancashire Town Here's to the maid in the calico gown I vow and declare he loved her so dear Cause she did wear pretty caps upon her hair Fol de dol de dol the day Master came home so late in the night Betsy came down for to light him with her light Master rolled her in his arms to drive away his cares But Missus she saw them going upstairs Says Master to Missus I'm going out of town Says Missus to Master, then I’ll go send Betsy down But late that night she sent Betsy to her bed Says I for your Master will wait up instead. Twelve o'clock came and knock was at the door Missus went down for to see who was there And on the cold ground he tumbled her down And into her pocket he slipped a half a crown Horses in the stable a making of a noise Master went out for to see what was the cause Missus crept upstairs laughing at the fun To think that the Master and Betsy was undone Early next morning the bell she did ring And Betsy the servant she come running in Says here’s a half crown your master gave to me I’m sure we all know it was intended for thee She took her by the shoulders and led her to the door There's no room here for both a wife and a whore And that is the thing I cannot endure When Master he never gets an even share |
