Come, choose from the east,
Come, choose from the west, Come, choose out the very one
That you love best.
Now there's a couple
Married in joy; First a girl,
And then a boy.
Now you're married;
You must obey Every word
Your husband says.
Take a kiss
And walk away, And remember the promise
You've made to-day.
—Fochabers (Rev. W. M'Gregor).
VI. Sally, Sally Waters, Sprinkled in the pan; Rise, Sally, rise, Sally, For a young man,
Choose the best and choose the worst, And choose the prettiest you love best.
—Welford, Berks (Mrs. Stephen Batson).
VII. Sally, Sally Wallflower, Sprinkled in the pan, &c, Now you're married, &c, On the carpet you shall kneel, &c.
—Notes and Queries, 5th series, iii.
VIII. Sallie, Sallie Waters, Sprinkled in a pan ; Rise, Sallie, rise, Sally, Choose a young man. Choose the best, and Choose the worst, and Choose the one that you love best. |
