Its toss or buy for cakes or nuts,

Sweet meats or ORMSKIRK, stuff your guts,

Or take a trow at civil will,

Now lads you’ve come to Preston Guild,

Or see the sports that’s up and down,

At Preston Guild in Preston town,

Two shillings a bed pay with good will,

If you stop one night at Preston Guild.

The times are hard, the wages low,

Some thousands to the Guild can’t go,
