“There was a girl working down in Horetown with some of the gentry there.”
There was a girl working down in Horetown with some of the gentry there. And of course they were all very grand. This day, 'twas very warm, and the girl was working in the kitchen and the mistress came on to her, and asked her how she was going on. "Oh", says the girl, "I'm sweating". "Oh", says the mistress, "You mustn't say that, say I'm in a state of perspiration."
Next day they had a party and there was a grand crowd entirely inside in the parlour; and the girl had to bring in dinner to them. The mistress asked her how was she going on: "Oh says she it's very warm, and I could piss over the nation."
So begor she left her so after that. If she may leave her as she was at first she was alright. (no title)
