"When I seek for mercy, there's no use to complain,
Since age and infirmity left me so lame,
For the one-pointed coarse grass, on my heart raised a lump,
When I would stoop to pluck it I'd fell on my rump.
Chorus.

So now to conclude and finished my song
The butcher was sent for and that before long
He up with the hatchet and have her a stroke
Put an end to her day and that ends my stroke.
