Of a farmer who lived in Hertfordshire,
A fine Yorkshire boy he had for his man,
For to do his work—his name it was Dan.
Fal de ral.
One morning right early he called for his man,
And when he came to him he thus began:—
Says he, "Take this cow this day to the fair,
She is in good order and I can her well spare."
Away went the boy with the cow in a band,
And he came to the fair as you shall understand,
