The version above from our Digital Tradition Folk Song Database is from Sharp, but these are the lyrics actually collected by Sharp.

GENTLY JOHNNY MY JINGALO

I put my hand all on her toe
    Fair maid is a lily O
I put my hand all on her toe
She says to me do you want to go?
    Come to me quietly
    Do not do no injury
    Gently Johnny my jingalo.

I put my hand all on her knee
She says to me do you want to see?

I put my hand all on her thigh
She says to me do you want to try?

I put my hand all on her billy
She says to me do you want to fill'ee?

I put my hand all on her breast
She says to me do you want a kiss?

I put my hand all on her head
She says you want my maidenhead.


[1176 William Tucker at Ashcott 1907. One other fragmentary version]

Sharp printed an entirely re-written text of this song, appending the following note (Folk Songs from Somerset, 1904—9): 'I know nothing of this song. I have never heard anyone sing it except Mr Tucker; nor do I know of any broadside or any published folk-song with which it has any connection. Mr Tucker told me that he learned the song from his father, who always declared it to be his favourite song.
'The words as I took them down were too coarse for publication. I have, however, been able to re-write the first and third lines of every verse without, I think, wholly sacrificing the character of the original song. The lines that recur in each verse run very smoothly and prettily and seem to suggest that the song is of some antiquity.'
He reprinted this text in English Folk Songs, Selected Edition, Vol I (5925) with a similar note, adding: 'I have no doubt but that it is a genuine folk-song.'
I have discovered no other printed text. A. G. Gilchrist (Journal of the Folk— Song Society, No. 20, 1916), suggests that the refrain is a corruption of 'Gentil joli jongleur', and refers to the refrain of a medieval lyric in Early English Lyrics, No. CL (Chambers & Sidgwick):

Draw me nere, draw me nere
Draw me nere, ye jolly juggelere!

She adds that the song 'appears to be a relic of an old minstrel song'.
In the middle ages jugglers were notorious for promiscuity and craftiness. Cf. Chaucer, Friar's Tale, I. 1467:

A lousy jogelour can deceyve thee.
