Bold Richard
One Sunday morning as I've heard say Young Richard he mounted his dobbin grey And over the fields he rode a lee A courtin' the parson's daughter Jean With your rumbledum dumble dum doddikan day
Young Richard he put on his Sunday clothes His buckskin trousers and silken hose And a brand new hat upon his head Was all bedecked with ribbons of red
Young Richard he rode without any fear 'til he came to the hall in his own good cheer Then he upped and shouted Hullo! Hullo! Be the folks at home? Say yes or no!'
The servants quickly let Dick in So that his courting might begin But when he got him inside the hall He loudly for Miss Jean did bawl
Miss Jean come down without delay What you young Richard have got for to say? Says he I suppose you know, Miss Jean That I am Young Richard of Taunton Dean
I'm an honest man yet I be poor And I've never been in love before But my father he sent me out for to woo Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And I could fancy none but you
Oh if I consent to be your bride Pray how for me will you provide? I'll give you all I have I'm sure And what could a poor fellow do for you more
For I've a pig poked up in a sty As Granny did give me when she did die And if you consent to marry me now My father will give us a fine fat sow
For I can reap and I can sow And I can plow and I can mow And I go to market with father's hay, And earn my ninepence every day
Oh nine pence a day would never do For I must have silks and satins, too 'Twould never do for you and I 'Ah come' says Richard 'I can but try'
Dick's compliments did so delight, They made the family laugh outright. And when he got no more of they He gave her a kiss and he rode away
