So Tom Pearse he got up to the top o' the hill,

All along, &c.

And he see'd his old mare down a-making her will

Wi' Bill Brewer, &c.

So Tom Pearse's old mare, her took sick and died,

All along, &c.

And Tom he sat down on a stone, and he cried

Wi' Bill Brewer, &c.

And now that Tom Pearse's old grey mare is dead

All along, &c.
