Dick Heuston, The Cobbler.

My name is Dick heuston, the Cobbler,
The people of London do tell--
They say I'm a very good workman,
And that I do know very well,
   With my too re diddle, lol de lol
   da, whack fol de diddle, fol de dol da.

When I was a 'prentice in London,
I lived at the Royal Exchange;
The girls all fell in love with me--
You might think it was very strange.

When I was a 'prentice in London,
I lived at the sign of the boot;
I earned ten guineas one morning,
A fitting Queen Charlotte's neat foot.

When I was a 'prentice in London,
I lived at the sign of the last;
My true love gave me a gold ring,
To remember the days that were past.

With my pegs, hammers, nails and lasts,
I set at the fire and sing
When i think of the girls in London,
Where my first shoemaking began;

My name is Dick Heuston the cobbler,
(Hic) the people (hic) of London (hic) do tell (hic)
they say (hic) I'm a very good (hic) workman,
And that (hic) I do know (hic) very well;
For I can (hic) work as well (hic) drunk as sober.

Queen Charlotte reference would surely help to date this version. Didn't one of the Stuarts have a Charlotte or am I getting mixed up with Charlotte the harlot.
