From The Universal Songster, Volume 3 (London: John Fairburn, et al., 1826), page 399:


I WONDER WHEN I SHALL BE MARRIED.

My father has forty good shilling,
  Oh! ay, good shilling;
And never a daughter but I;
My mother, oh! she is right willing,
  Oh! ay, right willing,
That I should have all when they die,

And I wonder when I shall be married!
  Oh! ay, be married!
My beauty begins to decay:
I soon must get hold of somebody;
  Oh! ay, of somebody,
Before it is all gone away.

My shoes they are at the mending,
  Oh! ay, at the mending;
My buckles they are in the chest!
My stockings are ready for sending,
  Oh! ay, for sending;
Then I'll be as brave as the best,

So I wonder when I shall be married, &c.
