[Oh! lovely Polly Savage]
Oh! lovely Polly Savage,
O! charming Polly Savage,
Your eye beats Day and Martin,
Your cheek is like red cabbage.
O! charming Polly Savage,
Your eye beats Day and Martin,
Your cheek is like red cabbage.
As I was going down the Strand
It smote my heart with wonder,
To see the lovely damsel,
A-sitting at a vinder.
Oh! lovely Polly Savage, &c.

To see the lovely damsel,
A-sitting at a vinder.
Oh! lovely Polly Savage, &c.
Oh! once I loved another girl,
Her name it was Maria;
But, Polly dear, my love for you
Is forty-five times higher.

But, Polly dear, my love for you
Is forty-five times higher.
O! lovely Polly Savage, &c.
We'll take a shop in Chicken Lane,
And I will stand prepared,
To sell fat bacon by the pound,
And butter by the yard.

O! lovely Polly Savage, &c.
And when at five o'clock, my love,
We sit us down to dine,
How I will toast your darling health,
In draughts of currant vine.

Oh then our little son shall be
As wanton as a spaniel,
Him that we mean to christen'd be,
Jacques Timothy Nathaniel.

And if we have a little girl,
I'm sure you wont be sorry
To hear me call the pretty elf
Euphemiar Helen Laurar.

To hear me call the pretty elf

Oh! lovely Polly Savage, &c.
Then fare-thee-well a little space,
My heart can never falter,
And next time when I see your face,
'Twill be at Hymen's haltar.
