SOMERSET
My grandmother had a three-cornered country-cut handkerchief,
Cut in a three-cornered country-cut way,
If my grandmother had a three-cornered country-cut handkerchief,
Cut in a three-cornered country-cut way,
Why shouldn’t I have a three-cornered country-cut handkerchief,
Cut in a three-cornered country-cut way?
LEICESTER
My father died a month ago,
And left me all his riches;
A feather bed, a wooden leg,
And a pair of leather breeches.
A coffee pot without a spout,
A cup without a handle,
A ’bacco box without a lid,
And half a farthing candle.
ESSEX
Here’s good health
And a little wealth,
And a little house
And freedom,
And at the end
A little friend,
And little cause
To need ’im.
