1.
A lovely pair endowed by Fate,With Loves and Beauties whole Estate;
At the sweetest game have been,
You know, you know what I mean,
You know, you know what I mean.
2.
For Kisses first the Lovers play'd,The pleasant sport provok'd the Maid
To that height, she growing mad,
Had almost play'd for all she had;
But the Maid was not so mad.
3.
She'll ask her Father's leave she swears,And then she'll play for what he dares,
Leave is had, and to't they go;
What I mean, you know, you know.
What I mean, you know, you know.
4.
To deeper Play, they now begin,The happy young man's hand is in,
Both have stak'd down all their joys,
But she loses, for she cryes:
See! she cryes! oh! see she cryes!
5.
But now the Bride, oh! tempting sight!Has won her lapful of delight,
To deeper Play, she urges on;
But, alas! his stakes are gone,
But, alas! his stakes are gone.
6.
And now she locks her Cabinet,But he'll play another set,
When his hand again is in,
You know, you know what I mean,
You know, you know what I mean.
