And care-bed she has taen:

‘O Johny, for my benison,

I beg you’l stay at hame;

For the wine so red, and the well baken bread,

My Johny shall want nane.

‘There are seven forsters at Pickeram Side,

At Pickeram where they dwell,

And for a drop of thy heart’s bluid

They wad ride the fords of hell.’
