All round my hat I vears a green villow,

All round my hat, for a twelvemonth and a day;

If any body axes me the reason vy I vears it,

I tells 'em that my own true love is far far away.

'Twas a going of my rounds, in the streets I first did meet her,

Oh, I thought she vos a hangel just come down from the sky;

(Spoken)—She's a nice wegitable countenance; turnup nose, redish cheeks, and carroty hair.

And I never knew a voice more louder or more sweeter,

When she cried, buy my primroses, my primroses come buy.

(Spoken)—Here's your fine cauliflowers.
