¶Lyrics / Text

Young John the Gard'ner, having lately got A very rich and fertile Garden Plot, Bragging to Joan, quoth he: "So rich a Ground For Melons cannot in the World be found." "That's a damn'd lie," quoth Joan, "for I can tell A place that does your Garden far excel." "Where's that?" says John; "In mine Arse," quoth Joan, for there Is store of Dung and Water all the Year."
