¶Lyrics / Text

God give you good morrow, my masters, past three o'clock and a fair morning. New mussels, new lilywhite mussels. New cockles, new great cockles, New great sprats, new. New great lampreys, New great smelts, new. New fresh herrings, New haddock, new, New thornback, new. Hot apple pies, hot. Hot pippin pies hot. Fine pomegranates, fine. Hot mutton pies, hot. Buy a rope. Ha' ye any old bellows or trays to mend? Rosemary and bays quick and gentle, Ripe chestnuts, ripe. Buy a cover for a closestool. Ripe walnuts, ripe. Ripe small nuts, ripe. White cabbage, white young cabbage white. White turnips, white young turnips, white. White parsnips, white young parsnips, white. White lettuce, white young lettuce white.

Perfum'd waistcoats, fine bone lace or edgings, sweet gloves, silk garters, very fine silk garters, fine combs or glasses. Or a poking stick with a silver handle. Old doublets, old doublets, old doublets, old doublets, old doublets, ha' ye any old doublets? Ha' ye any corns on your feet or toes? Fine potatoes, fine. Will you buy any starch or clear complexion, mistress? Poor naked Bedlam, Tom's acold, a small cut of thy bacon or a piece of thy sow's side, good Bess, God Almighty bless thy wits. Dame, dame, give me an egg for the worship of Good Friday, if y
