5 "Come in, come in, you welcome guest,
Take which of my daughters that you like best.55 "I'll take one for love and the other for kin, I'll marry them both," says Tom Bolyn.
6 After the wedding we must have a dinner 3 They had nothing to eat that was fit for a sinner, Neither fish, flesh, food, nor no such a thing— "It's a hell of a dinner/3 said Tom Bolyn.
7 And after the dinner, we must have a bed 3 The floor it was swept and the straw it was spread 3 The blankets was short and besides very thin, "Stick close to my back," said Tom Bolyn.
8 But his wife's mother said the very next day, "You will have to get another place to stay— I can't lie awake and hear you snore;
You can't stay in my house any more."
9 Tom Bolyn got into a hollow tree, And very contented seemed to be$ The wind did blow and the rain beat in. "This is better than no house," said Tom Bolyn.
