The new Irish Christmass Box OR , THE Female Dear Joy trick'd out of her Maiden Head . To an Excellent new Teagueland Tune . 1. AS I went to Mondeer , With my Barrel of Beer , There I met with young Peggy Whose Beauty was Clear ; Sing ratting a roo , Ratting a roo-re-roo , re-roo-re-roo , Ratting a roo-re-roo , re-roo-re-roo , Far ro rance , Sing far-re-a-roo-rance , Sing hay-bou bance , Sing ratting a roo . 2. Says he my dear Peggy , If with me you 'l go , A Bottle of Clarret On thee I 'll bestow , sing ratting a roo , &c. 3. I 'll give the fine Rigging , And Top-knots to wear , And a pair of new Gloves , at Notingham Fair Sing ratting a roo , &c. 4. I tip't her the Wink And backwards she fell , And Twenty Weeks after , Her Belly did swell Sing rartting a roo , &c. 5. When Twenty Weeks after , she sat down and Cry'd Oh! this have I gotten , By being thus try'd , sing ratting a roo &c. 6. Oh stay my dear Peggy , and be not unkind , For we will be Married , When the Devil is Blind , Sing ratting a roo ! Ratting a roo-re-roo , re-roo-re-roo , ratting a roo-re-roo , re-roo-re-roo , Far roo rance , sing far-re-a-roo-rance , sing ha-bou bance , sing ratting a roo .
