If any honest man did meet him,
(All such he hated) he would greet him
In this strange manner, Will you swear
I'm lawful owner of the mare?
No, God forbid, should he reply,
That I should swear an arrant lie,
Sans more ado he cuts his throat,
And takes his money every groat.
(All such he hated) he would greet him
In this strange manner, Will you swear
I'm lawful owner of the mare?
No, God forbid, should he reply,
That I should swear an arrant lie,
Sans more ado he cuts his throat,
And takes his money every groat.
