[An early 19th century traditional song without tune in John Bell's MSS, Newcastle.]

A Haughty Lady in Silken Plaidy, does often rouse
On Petticoats loose, Petticoats loose
A Captains Lady is allways ready
at Petticoats loose at Petticoats loose
A Parsons Lady tho grave and steady
will readily chuse a Petticoat loose, Petticoat loose
And A Tailors Lady tho Poor and needy
will never refuse at Petticoats loose, Petticoats loose
A Lawyers Lady will freely plead You
at Petticoats loose and Petticoats loose
then loose your Petticoats loose your Petticoats
then loose Your trews loose your trews [trousers
for Lord and Lady and Poor and Needy
can never refuse at Petticoats loose
