Kitty
from memory
Farmer looked at Young Gwendoline and he looked at Young Ned
What an andsome young couple they ought to be wed
But farmer sighed softly, its impossible of course
Cos Gwendoline's my daughter and Ned is my orse.

As I said on another thread, it is a pity we didn't collect all the verses the locals gave us in the Smiths Arms in 75.

On Song for Every Season there is a song
All young men who go a courtin, mind which way you choose a wife
If you marry my wife's daughter, you'll be a beggar for the rest of your life
