Rake out the fire and put out the cat,

These fairs are sinful, tempting folk to spend.

Of course she spoke polite and like a friend;

Of course she had to do, and so I let her,

But now it's done and past, so I forget her.'

'I don't see why forget her. Why forget her?

She treat us kind. She weren't like everyone.

I never saw a woman I liked better,

And he's not easy pleased, my father's son.

So I'll go round some night when work is done.'
