Bonaparte's garland

                           [ 3 ]

Long may GEORDY live to enjoy his Throne,
For my part I will not quit wi' him for none;
And them that's no for him may go o'er to France,
Perhaps Bonaparte will learn them to dance.
        And them that's no for him, &c.

           MY APRON DEARY.

'T Was early in the morning, a morning of May,
A ſoldier and a laſſie was walking aſtray,
Cloſe down in yon meadow, yon meadow brow,
I heard the laſs cry, My apron now.

                 CHORUS.

My apron, deary, my apron now,
My belly bears up my apron now :
But I, being a young thing, was eaſy to woo,
Which makes me cry out, My apron now.

O had I ta'en counſel of father or mother,
Or had I adviſed with ſiſter or brother ;
But I, being a young thing, and eaſy to woo,
It makes me cry out, My apron now.

                  CHORUS.

My apron, deary, my apron now, &c.

Your apron, deary, I muſt confeſs,
Seems ſomething the ſhorter, tho' naithing the leſs :
Then ha'd your tongue deary, & I will prove true,
And nae mair cry out your apron now.

                  CHORUS.

Your apron deary, Your apron now,
Your belly bears up your apron now, (true,
Then ha'd your tongue, deary, & I will prove
And nae mair cry out your apron now.
