W:So buy for me a young man to comfort me, she said, W:you must buy for me a young man who will be with me all night, W:and I'll roll him in my ar-ms, and he'll be my heart's delight. W: W:Ah, hold your tongue, dear daughter then, or your folds I will pull down. W:Your silks and satins I will pull down, you must wear your morning gown. W:I'll send you to the meadow for to rake and mow the hay W:with your pike and shaft all in your hands you must earn your drink and tae. W: W:Ah, hold your tongue, dear daughter then, I was forty before I wed, W:although it was late, I thought it no weight to carry my maidenhead. W:That may be the way with you, mama, but it isn't the way with me, W:for I'm young and airy, light and crazy and married I long to be. W: W:Ah, hold your tongue, dear daughter then, and I'll buy for you a man. W:A man for me? Oh, mother, she said, you must hasten, you must and can. W:The sooner the better, oh mother, she said, you must hasten a man to me W:for I'm young and airy, light and crazy and married I long to be.
