Arthur Bradley O

Twas in the month of May

The maidens they did say

That a maypole they would have

And one that is fine & brave

Silly Bob put off his hat

For he be called a sup

(That every men should show)

For his name was Arthur [a] Bradley O

Hooroo boys Hooroo for his name was

Arthur Bradley O.

As Arthur walked forth one day

He met Dorothy by the way

He took her by the hand

Desired that she should stand

Saying if's ever thee loved thee mother

Love I & love no other

For love it will confuse a Kins King

And a sorrowful heart it will bring

For her name was Draggletail Dorothy O

Hooroo etc.
1068

Well a courting Arthur went

It was against his friends consent

His sweetheart had but one eye

Her nose stood all awry

Mouth from ear to ear

With a hump upon her back

And kissing she did not lack

And bandy legs she was

That a wheelbarrow may go through

and its hooroo boys

For here name it was draggletain Dorothy O

Hooroo etc

Well a wedding we must have

And one that is fine & brave

We'll ask the neighbours round

One out of every town

There's old Mother Wick to Bob

Old Gradmotther Squid to squab

In steps old Hannah Sutten

She got a roasting of mutten

In sleps old Hannah Don

With
1069

When death is pleased to call

I'll swear I'll leave thee all

There's Barrels & buckets & lovers

And a half dozen old iron spoons

And two old left handed mittens

Besides an old curtain ring

And a half dozen old brass buttens

Tied up on a leather string

And a chimney pot so good

That ever was made with wood

And something else is left to my lot

That's a good old mustard pot

Her name it was Draggletail Dorothy O

Hooroo boys etc
