I'm sitting on the stile Mary
I have no where else to sit
The landlord took all I had
And then I had to flit
He took the ass he took the goose
He took the pig and cow
I'm sitting on the style Mary
Thats what I'm doing now.

I'm sitting on the stile Mary
They left me nothing more
The roof is off the cabin
And the latch is off the door#
So neath the hedge I shelter now
And make my bed the while
I hope there'll be no rent to pay
For sitting on the stile.
