- (continued from previous page)I searched everywhere, but ah, never mind,
That deceitful lass I never did find.IVTo the house of John Flynn I next did repair
In hope I should find some trace of her there:
Double jigs, jigs, and reels, sure they made the time pass,
I still hoped that in would come that wicked lass;
But no, and I was to buy a new rig
For the money I’d get for my dear little pig.VShe did not turn up, so home I did go
My work to do and my shuttle to throw;
I’d stick to my loom while youth was in bloom,
And I’d never be caught by a scoundrel again.VIThe girl I love, she too causes me woe
If she would wed me things wouldn’t be so;
But I’ll search everywhere for that blade, she’s a prig,
That lassie that stole from me the price of my pig.- Collector
