My dad and mammy’s fast asleep,
My brother’s up, and with the sheep;
And will you still your promise keep,
Which I have heard you swear;
And will you ever constant prove;
I will, by all the Powers above,
And ne’er deceive my charming dove,
Dispel those doubts, and haste my love
With Jockey to the Fair;
Dispel those doubts, &c.

Behold the ring, the shepherd cry’d,
Will Jenny be my charming bride;
Let Cupid be our happy guide,
And Hymen meet us there:
Then Jockey did his vows renew,
He wou’d be constant, wou’d be true;
His word was pledg’d, away he flew,
With cowslips tipt with balmy dew,
With Jockey to the Fair;
With cowslips tipt, &c.

In raptures meet the joyful train,
Their gay companions blythe and young,
Each join the dance, each join the throng;
