Come listen a while and I'll sing you a song
Of three merry
gentlemen riding along
They met a fair maid and to her did say
"I fear this cold morning
will do you some harm"
"Oh no, kind sir," said the maid, "You're mistaken
To think
this cold morning will do me some harm
There's one thing I crave, it lies twixt your
legs
If you give me that, it will keep me warm"
"Since you crave it, my dear, you
shall have it
If you'll come with me to yonder green tree
Then since you do crave it, my
dear you shall have it
I'll make these two gentlemen witness to be"
So the gentleman
lighted and straightway she mounted
And looking the gentleman hard in the face
Saying,
"You knew not my meaning, you wrong understood me"
And away she went galloping down the long
lane
"Oh gentlemen, lend me one of your horses
That I might ride after her down the
long lane
If I overtake her, I'll warrant I'll make her
Return unto me my horse back
again"
But soon as this fair maiden she saw him coming
She instantly then took her
pistol in hand
Saying, "Doubt not my skill, it's you I would kill
I'd have you stand back
or you are a dead man"
"Oh why do you spend your time here in talking
Why do you spend
your time here in vain
Come give her a guinea, it's what she deserves
I'll warrant she'll
give you your horse back again"
"Oh no, kind sir, you're vastly mistaken
If it is
his loss, well it is my gain
And you are a witness that he give it to me"
and away she
went galloping over the plain
