    Next morning I was sober,
    And was thinking of a plan,
    How to keep mamma from knowing
    I was such a foolish man,
    Little dreaming I had told her,
    All that passed the night before,
    When she heard me cutting coppies with the jennet, at the door,

    And she gave me dogs abuse.
    And she said for fair or market
