COme listen you Gallants of Shrowsbury fair Town , For that is the place , that hath gained renown : To set forth its praises , we all will agree : Then every man to his mind , Shrowsbury for me . The merry Town of Shrowsbury , God bless it still , For it stands most gallantly upon a high Hill : It standeth most bravely , for all men to see , Then every man to his mind , Shrowsbury for me . There 's six Parish Churches all in that fair Town , And six gallant Ministers , in their black Gowns : There 's twice a week Market , for all men to see , And every man to his mind , Shrowsbury for me .
The second Part , to the same Tune . O The brave bells of Shrowsbury , merrily doth ring , And the gallant young-men & Maid , sweetly they sing : There runs a fair silver , for all men to see , And every man to his mind , Shrowsbury for me . O the Pinacle of Shrowsbury , shews it self still , For it 's mounted gallantly on a high Hill : It standeth most bravely in view for to see , Then every man to his mind , Shrowsbury for me . The Trades-men of Shrowsbury drive a fine Trade , Their wives go most gallant , and bravely aray'd , And like loving couples they always agree , Then every man to his mind , Shrowsbury for me . The Sea-men went to Maid-stone , the Iayl for to see , And from thence to London , that noble City : Then home they returned , by one , two , and three , And every man to his mind , Shrowsbury for me . The young-men of Shrowsbury , are jovial Blades , When they are in company , with pretty Maids . They court them compleatly , with complements free , Then every man to his mind , Shrowsbury for me . There 's Fishing and Fowling at Shrowsbury Town , There 's shooting and bowling , both up hill and down : With brave recreations for every degree , Then every man to his mind , Shrowsbury for me , There is no man in Shrowsbury needs for to want , For all things are plenty , and nothing is scant : What e're you can wish for , for all men is free , Then every man to his mind . Shrowsbury for me . Then who would not gladly , live in this brave Town , Which flourishes gallantly , with high Renown : The like of it is not in England to see , Then every man to his mind , Shrowsbury for me . Then brave Lads of Shrowsbury , let us be merry , Carrouse it most freely , in white-wine and Sherry : Cast up your Caps bravely , for all men to see , And still cry with one accord , Shrowsbury for me .
