At the dirty end of Dirty Lane,

Liv’d a dirty cobbler, Dick Maclane;

His wife was in the old king’s reign

A stout brave orange-woman.

On Essex Bridge she strained her throat,

And six-a-penny was her note.

But Dickey wore a bran-new coat,

He got among the yeomen.

He was a bigot, like his clan,

And in the streets he wildly sang,
