Lancashire Lass 
Here's to the maid in Lancashire Town Here's to the maid in the cadelico I vow and declare he loved her so dear Cause she did wear pretty caps upon her hair 
Fol the dol the day 
Says Master unto Missus I'm going out of town Says Missus unto Betsy, You go unto your bed And I for your Master Will wait up in your stead. 
Twelve o'clock came and knock was at the door Missus went out to see who was there And on the cold ground he tumbled her down And into her hand he put half a crown 
Horses out in stable a making of a noise Master went out to see who was there Missus cropped upstairs and laughed at the fun To think how the maid and the master was undone 
Next morning at breakfast the bell she did ring Saying here's half a crown that your master gave to me And many a bright crown has he turned unto thee 
She tooked her by the shoulders and led her to the door Saying There's no home for a wife and a wench For all this long time I never can endure For I can't come in for a morsel of my share 
And all that they done, they done in a month And after that they turned bump to bump. 
Fol the dol day
