It was very tempting, upon my word,
I looked at her like a strayed bird,
I said I’ll marry you to a lord,
My name is Madame Rachel.
To please the old woman I did not fail,
I flattered and coaxed Mrs Sparrowtail,
Got all her money by telling a tale,
She was pleased with Madame Rachel.
I got her a man, lawks how he did laugh
He saw Mrs Sparrowtail in the bath,
