WILL.
J. Pitts Printer 6- Great st. Andrew street
AS Whistling Will came from the play,
He heard a damsel to complain,
I wish to God that I was dead,
For I can't get a man to wed
Fal de ral lal lari day
He said fair maid if youll agree;
I'll ease you of you of you misery,
And soon it ſell to Nancy's lot.
For I will have you in a jot.
Fal de ral, &c.
Naucy's petticoat she could not tie,
Which made poot Nancy for to cry
I wish to God that I was dead,
The very day that I was wed.
Fal de ral, &c.
All you girls both great aud small,
A. warning take by my downfall
Before you leap besure you noed,
I rue the day that I was wed,
Fal de ral, &c.
Pitts, Wholesale Toy Warehouse.
