To a late Scotch Tune.
Thomas
did once make my Heart full glad,
When I set him up to rule at the Helm:
But Thomas has prov'd but a naughty Lad,
For Thomas I fear has betray'd my Realm.
When I set him up to rule at the Helm:
But Thomas has prov'd but a naughty Lad,
For Thomas I fear has betray'd my Realm.
I gave him a House, I gave him Grounds,
I gave him a hundred thousand pounds,
I gave him the Lord knows what Gadzounds:
But Thomas, &c.
I gave him a hundred thousand pounds,
I gave him the Lord knows what Gadzounds:
But Thomas, &c.
The finest Courtier that e'er was seen,
He prais'd my Port, and he prais'd my Meen,
He prais'd all the Ladies at Court but the Q---
Yet Thomas, &c.
He prais'd my Port, and he prais'd my Meen,
40
Yet Thomas, &c.
I gave him all Christian Liberty,
I let him sometimes lig by me,
I let him feel my Duchesses Knee,
Yet Thomas, &c.
I let him sometimes lig by me,
I let him feel my Duchesses Knee,
Yet Thomas, &c.
