CAKES AND ALE (CATCH)

(1) I gave her cakes and I gave her ale
I gave her sack and cherry
I kissed her once and I kissed her twice
And we were wanderers merry

(2) I gave her beads and bracelets fine
And I gave her gold down derry
I thought she was a-feared when she struck my beard
And we were wanderers merry

(3) Merry me hearts, merry me cocks, merry me sprites
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry me hay down derry
I kissed her once and I kissed her twice
And we were wanderers merry

A catch by Henry Purcell
recorded by the Silly Sisters (June Tabor & Maddy Prior) on
"No more To The Dance" (1988)
