            <text>F Ollow bonny Lad,&#13;
By the High-way side,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother;&#13;
But if thou love me as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     then let us gang both together.&#13;
And if we meet a Man,&#13;
We'l cause him to stand,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother;&#13;
But if thou love me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     we'l make him stand both together.&#13;
Be it better, be't worse,&#13;
We will take his Purse,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother;&#13;
But if thou love me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     we will take it both together.&#13;
And than by and by,&#13;
Follow the Hue and Cry,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother;&#13;
But if thou love me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     we'l both be taken together.&#13;
And [then in a Cart,]&#13;
We'l [be carry'd] to York,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother;&#13;
But if thou love me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     we'l both be carry'd together.&#13;
Then over Mount-Hill,&#13;
And by the Mill,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother;&#13;
But if thou love me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     one pint we will drink together.&#13;
And then we must lye&#13;
Until the next Assize,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother;&#13;
But if thou love me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     there we will lye together.&#13;
And the next Assize,&#13;
We must be Trappiz'd,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving B rother;&#13;
But if thou love me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     we both will Swing together.&#13;
With the Mattock and Spade,&#13;
Our Graves shall be made,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother;&#13;
But if thou love me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     we'l lye in a Grave together.&#13;
But let us not be&#13;
Fearful whilst free,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother ;&#13;
For if thou love me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     we will fight and dye together.&#13;
For a Knight of the Padd,&#13;
Should never be sad,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother;&#13;
But if thou lov'st me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     we will be merry together.&#13;
Let what will come,&#13;
We know our Doom,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving B rother;&#13;
But if thou love me, as I love thee,&#13;
we will cast away fear together.&#13;
Our Booty we'l share,&#13;
And take no futher care,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother;&#13;
But if thou love me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     we will spend it both together.&#13;
Our Lasses and our Wine,&#13;
Our Wits shall refine,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother;&#13;
But if thou love me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     we will share them both together.&#13;
At nothing we'l grieve,&#13;
So Silver we have,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother;&#13;
For if thou lov'st me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     what we do we'l do together.&#13;
Men of our Profession,&#13;
Move by Discretion,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving B rother;&#13;
And if thou love me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     we'l jovially move together.&#13;
Goals we will Contemn,&#13;
Till we fall into them,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving B rother;&#13;
But if thou love me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     we'l wear the stone doublet together.&#13;
But as we now are,&#13;
Let us have a care,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother;&#13;
And if thou love me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     let us have a care toghther.&#13;
O let us-still beware,&#13;
Of the wretced Snare,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother;&#13;
And if thou lov'st me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     O let us have a care together.&#13;
O to dye in a Rope,&#13;
Wilt destroy all our hope,&#13;
&#13;
													     my own dear loving Brother;&#13;
But if thou lov'st me, as I love thee,&#13;
&#13;
													     if we dye we'l dye both together.</text>
