The Mavis (1819, Falkirk)/The Beautiful Girl

I’ll ſing of my Jenny all day and all night,
She’s always good-natur’d and full of delight;
Her looks are ſo pleaſant, her eyes are ſo bright,
That I always am happy when ſhe’s in my ſight.
And a beautiful girl is my Jenny &c.

To me Jenny’s love is oft-times expreſt,
Of all her young gallants ſhe loves me the beſt;
Her lips I have kiſs’d, and her boſom I’ve preſt,
She’s ſweeter than roſes in June, I proteſt.
And a beautiful girl, &c.

​Of all the gay laſses that dance on the green,
’Tis Jenny excels with an air and a mien;
She ſings like a ſyren, ſhe looks like a queen,
She’s the ſweeteſt young beauty my eyes e’er have ſeen.
And a beautiful girl. &c.

Come hither, ſweet Jenny, no longer delay.
Join hands with your Jocky, to church let’s away;
Don’t truſt till to-morrow, be happy to-day,
And gladly the ſummons of Cupid obey
Then love ſhall bleſs Jenny a Jocky,
Then love ſhall bleſs Jenny and Jocky.
