At races, wake or fair,

For my father had addled a vast in trade,

And I were his son and heir.

And seeing that I didn't want for brass,

Poor girls came first to woo,

But tho' I delight in a Yorkshire lass,

Yet I was Yorkshire too!

To Lunnon by father I was sent,

Genteeler manners to see;

But fashion's so dear, I came back as I went,
