The text in The Two Noble Kinsmen can be seen here: Two Noble Kinsmen - The George Alow:

Enter Gaoler's Daughter, and sings.

  The George alow came from the south,
  From the coast of Barbary-a;
  And there he met with brave gallants of war,
  By one, by two, by three a.
  Well hail'd, well hail'd, you jolly gallants!
  And whither now are you bound-a?
  O, let me have your company
  Till I come to the Sound-a!
  There was three fools fell out about an howlet;
  The one said it was an owl
  The other he said nay,
  The third he said it was a hawk,
  And her bells were cut away.
