Текст песни
When first to London town I came
I took my lodging all at some inn
For full five months I did remain
Being a stranger, I fell in danger
Doing so, doing so
The landlord had a daughter fair
She was a beauty, I do declare
In her bed-chamber I dared not go
For being a stranger, I fell in danger
Doing so, doing so
She'd ruby lips and she'd eyes of blue
They causèd me to love her so
I kissèd her lips, her bosom too
Being a stranger, I fell in danger
Doing so, doing so
In yonder grove my seed was sown
In yonder grove where grew no green
The more I kissèd this girl being young
The more I kissèd, her eyes did glisten
Like the rising of the sun
The seeds of love they grow apace
The tears they blossomed all on her face
All for to weep I would not stay
For being a stranger, I fell in danger
I ran away, I ran away
When nine long months they were gone and past
This pretty girl had her babe at last
She must keep it like it sows alone
And eat the seeds that I myself had sown
Doing so, doing so
