JUMPIN JOHN.
Tune — Jumpin John.
Her daddie forbade, her minnle forbade ;
Forbidden she wadna be.
She wadna trow't, the browst she brewed,
Wad taste sae bitterlie.
The lang lad they ca' Jumpin John
Beguiled the bonnie lassie ;
The lang lad they ca' Jumpin John
Beguiled the bonnie lassie.
A cow and a cauf, a yowe and a hauf,
And thretty gude shillings and three ;
A very gude tocher, a cottarman's docther,
The lass wi' the bonnie black ee.
The lang lad, &c.*
THE CAPTAIN'S LADY.
Tune — Mount your laggage.
O MOUNT and go,
Mount and make you ready;
O mount and go.
And be the captain's lady.
'* He will win a shilling,
Ere he spend a groat,"
is a passage of which it is impossible to speak in terms of sufficient lauda-
tion. There should be more songs in reference to domestic economy and
domestic enjoyments, and a great deal fewer on the subject of antenuptial
affection.
* From Johnson's Musical Museum, Part II. 1788.
