I was got by an Honest Poor Man,
Who Sails in her Majestier Service,
My Mother is call'd Whore Nan,
The Name of my Father is Jarvice.
Who Sails in her Majestier Service,
My Mother is call'd Whore Nan,
The Name of my Father is Jarvice.
My Fathers first Letter is I,
My Mothers with N does begin,
They put them together to try,
What it Spelt, and 'twas Luckily IN.
My Mothers with N does begin,
They put them together to try,
What it Spelt, and 'twas Luckily IN.
Thus was I conceiv'd in Sin,
There's no Body got without,
And tho' I went Sinfully in,
The Iniquities now come out.
There's no Body got without,
And tho' I went Sinfully in,
The Iniquities now come out.
Have Mercy upon me, I Pray,
And carry me out of the Weather,
For all that my Mother can say,
The Parish must be my Father.
And carry me out of the Weather,
For all that my Mother can say,
The Parish must be my Father.
