¶Liedtext

“Tomorrow morn I’ll be sixteen And Billy Grimes, the rover, Has popped the question to me, Ma, And wants to be my lover. “He’ll be here in the morning, Ma, He’s coming here quite early To take a pleasant walk with me Across yon fields of barley!” “You must not go, my gentle dear, There’s no use now a-talking, You shall not go with Billy Grimes Across yon fields a-walking. To think of such presumption, too, The dirty, ugly rover, I wonder where your pride has gone To think of such a lover!” “Oh, Mama dear, I must confess Though Billy isn’t clever, A nicer beau could not be found In this wide world all over.” “Oh, daughter dear, I am surprised At your infatuation. To think of having Billy Grimes, It would be ruination.” “Oh, Mama dear, old Grimes is dead And Billy is the only Surviving heir of all that’s left, About six thousand yearly!” “Oh, daughter dear, I did not hear Your last remarks quite clearly, But Billy is a nice young man And no doubt loves you dearly!”
