    A lady looked out of her window so high,
    Jacks beauty did her ensnare, ensnare.
    She called to her maid to go down to the gate
    And send up the boy with the brooms green brooms.

    Jack arose with his compliments high unto this lady's room, good room
    Said she if you throw by your trade and wed
    A young lady in bloom good bloom.
    And wed a young lady in bloom.
    6
    Jack consented and made up his mind
    And stopped in the lady's room, good room,
    There was fresh neat drink.
    Ah boys what do you thinks
    There is no trade like cutting green broom, green broom.
    There is no trade like cutting, Green Broom.
