FRIEND LUBIN
Friend Lubin loves his saturdays
That brings him resting sundays
But witler loves contrary ways
And wishes all were Mondays
The Labourer doats on welcome night
To rest his weary limbs
And Misses in the day delight
To show their dressy whims
That brings him resting sundays
But witler loves contrary ways
And wishes all were Mondays
The Labourer doats on welcome night
To rest his weary limbs
And Misses in the day delight
To show their dressy whims

But O the night and day to me
The saturday & monday
I care not wich-a-way they be
On work' i' day or Sunday
O no I care not what they be
Tho night I most approve
But o the day is dear to me
That brings me to my love
The saturday & monday
I care not wich-a-way they be
On work' i' day or Sunday
O no I care not what they be
Tho night I most approve
But o the day is dear to me
That brings me to my love
