- (continued from previous page)Yes! Yes! here comes me Belay Bob.
On my shoulder I carry my club,
In my hand my dripping pan.
I call myself a jolly wee man.
Last Christmas night,
As I was working at the spit,
I burned my finger,
And I feel it yet,
Between my finger and my thumb.
I ate the forcemeat every crumb.
If you don'y like to believe me
Enter in Black Prince
And he'll soon clear the way.Yes! Yes! here comes me Black Prince
From Egypt all the way.
I've come to seen my daughter
Whom King George has stole away.Your a liar Sir!
Take out your purse and pay me.(continues on next page)- Informant
