¶Liedtext

There lived a man in Ballenocrazy Who wanted a wife to make him uneasy; Long had he sigh'd for dear Ally Croaker, And thus this gentle youth bespoke her: "Will you marry me, dear Ally Croaker?" This artless young man, just come from the scholary, A novice in love and all its foolery, Too dull for a wit, too grave for a joker; And thus this gentle youth bespoke her: "Will you marry me, dear Ally Croaker?" To all you young men who are fond of gaming, Who are spending your money whilst others are saving, Fortune's a jilt, the de'il may choke her; A jilt more inconstant than dear Ally Croaker, O th'inconstant Ally Croaker.
