A Song (continued)
“There was an old woman of whom I heard tell ¶ She went to market her eggs for to sell”
(continued from previous page)Now if it be me as I hope it to be
I've a little dog & he will know me
But if its not me he'll bark loudly and wail.
Home went the woman all in the dark.
Up got the dogs he began to bark
He began to bark & she began to cry
Lord have mercy on me this is none of I.
