In half shirts and drawers these maids did run,
But bonny Nan the race has won.
A silver spoon this Nan obtain'd;
The next a silver bodkin gain'd;
The third that was not quite so nimble,
Was to have a silver thimble;
And she that was the last of all,
Nothing unto her share did fall.
In drawers red Ann Clayton run,
And she it was the race that won;
