   1
   On the twenty-ninth of November
   In the year of seventy-five,
   When first I took a notion
   All for to get a wife
   Fortune was unkind to me,
   And then I got my fill,
   When I saw that humped hippocrite
   That serves on Jolly Hill.
   2
   Whenever I go to bed at night,
   My heart it is very sore.
   And when I rise in the morning,
   I am grieved ten times more,
   All for to wake that serpent,
   Out of her wearied bed.
   To give her time to make the porridge and comb her head.
   3
   When she goes to measure the milk,
   Well - in (th) troth it is a sin,
   She'll "howl" the measure to one side,
   While all the milk teams in
   The man that wants a dairy - maid
   To measure milk with skill
   He can go for that humped hippocrite
   That serves on Jolly Hill.
