THE Scotch HAY-MAKERS : OR , Crafty JOCKEY's Courtship TO Coy Jenny of Edenborough . To an excellent new Tune , much in Request .

I. 't was within a Furlong of Edenborough Town , In the rosie time o' th' Year , when the Grass was down , Bonny Jockey , blith and gay , said to Jenny making Hay , Let 's sit a little , Dear , and prattle , 't is a sultry Day : He long had courted the black-brow'd Maid , But Jockey was a Wag , and wou'd ne'er consent to wed ; Which made her pish and phoo , and cry it will not do ; I cannot , cannot , cannot , wonnot , wonnot buckle too . II . He told her Marriage was grown a meer joak , And that no one wedded now but the Scoundrel Folk . Yet , my Dear , you shou'd prevail , but I know not what I ail , I shall dream of clogs , and silly dogs , with bottles at their tails . But I 'll give the Gloves , and a Bongrace to wear , And a pretty filly Foal to ride out and take the air , If thou ne'r will pish and phoo , and cry out it shall not do , I cannot , cannot , cannot , wonnot , wonnot buckle too . III . That you 'll give me Trinklits , cry'd she , I believe , But ah ! what in return must your poor Jenny give , When my Maiden-treasure's gone , I mun gang to London Town , And roar and rant , and patch and paint , and kiss for half a crown ; Each drunken Bully oblige for pay , And earn a hated Living an odious fulsome way : No , no , it ne'r shall do , for a Wife I 'll be to you , Or I cannot , cannot , cannot , wonnot , wonnot buckle too . IV . Ne'r was I so courted in all my life before , You will stop young Jenny's Breath , if you kiss me any more ; Fie upon you Lad forbear , you 'll a silly Maid ensnare By your fooling so , then let me go , or your locks I se tear , You are uncivil , I must be coy Till wedded , there 's no Loon shall my Maiden-head enjoy ; Then did she pish and phoo , and cry'd , it ne'r will do , I cannot , cannot , cannot , wonnot , wonnot buckle too . V. Sike a Lad as Jockey , young , Lasses would embrace , Who can sing them pleasant Sonnets , and dances with a grace On the pleasant rural Plain ; do not then my Suit disdain , From thy charming eyes , Love , arrows flies , which renew's my pain ; Love's fresh encounter he then renew'd ; She cry'd out , Fie , O fie , geud faith , you's muckle rude , Then did she pish and phoo , and cry'd , it ne'er will do , I cannot , cannot , cannot , wonnot , wonnot buckle too . VI . If you mean to marry , I se freely be your Bride , Then at pleasure you may have what is otherwise deny'd , Ne'er a Loon in all the Land , shall have me at his command , Nor my Maiden-head , until I wed , take away your hand , Or else I will cry , and rend the Skie , For I will marry'd be , or else a Maid I 'll die ; Then did she pish and phoo , and cry'd , it ne'er will do , I cannot , cannot , cannot , wonnot , wonnot buckle too .
