   Says one of the girls "sit down by the fire"
   There was a fine girl I'll describe if I can
   She's cook slut and dairymaid to the big man.
   She is neat tall and handsome
   and fit to be seen
   She carries her mouth like the mouth of a machine.
   There are two more lines near the gentlemans place
   they are Maggie and Essie
   God mark them to grace
   A pity they warn't transported in time
   They would plough up tobacco land seven by nine.
   There are two more lassies between that the bull
   They don't give a damn
   When their bellies are full
   Winter is over and provisions
