   I sat down and wept full sore
   Saying there is only one wild world
   And I could gain no more.

   The first of my rambles I ever did take
   It was down to Rathangan for to cut the whate.
   I hired in a house 'twas as large as a town
   And the name of the girl was Molly Lay Down.
   She was the hansomest girl that ever I met
   two feet in height and three feet in breadth.
   I swibbled and squabbled and put in the day
   And when evening came on I called for me pay.
