    Some salt in a barrel
    And for fear we should quarrel
    Some whisky to keep us both quiet
    III
    Four knives and four forks four bottles and corks
    Six plates spoons and pewter dishes
    Salt butter astore and salt herrings galore
    With good praties as much as she wishes
    Two pots and a griddle a sieve and a riddle
    A slate for a tongs to bring fire on
    A pair of pot hooks and two little crooks
    To hang up the salt box and gridiron
    IV
    Three noggins three mugs a bowl and two jugs.
    A crock and a pan some thing lesser looking glass to dress at for mass
    Nailed up to a clean little dresser.
    Some starch and some blue in to papers for you
    An iron and holder to hold it.
    A beetle to whack and a stick horses back
    To dry your cap on before you fold it.
