BLACK JOKE (4)

You Rakes and Bullies and comical fops
you say that we sent you away with the pox
with our Black Joke and belly so white.

But pox on you for comical fools
we scorn to meddle with such dirty Poor tools
with our etc.

Its very weel known we are pritty Girl(s)
and that we are company for Lords and Earls
with our etc.

And when into Essex street we come
the rakes and bullies the(y) turn up one bum
with our etc.

And when we come to temple bar
Then we pick up a Jolly tar
with our etc.
And when we come to featherbed lane
Our lovers will kindly us entertain
with our etc..

Finis
