COME

LASSES AND LADS

Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd.

Come Lasses and Lads, get leave of your Dads,

And away to the May-pole hey:

For every he
Has got him a she,
with a minstrel standing by.

For Willy has gotten his Jill,

And Johnny has got his Jone,

To jigg it, jigg it, jigg it, jigg it,

Jigg it up and down.

"Strike up," says Watt; "Agreed," says Kate,

"And I prithee, Fiddler, play;"

"Content," says Hodge, and so says Madge,

For this is a Holiday!

Then every man did put his hat off to his lass,

And every girl did curchy, curchy, curchy on the grass.
