what I have deciphered from listening


Some be merry and some be mad
Some be busy and some be bad
Some be wild and by St Jad

chorus
Yet all may be no so
Though some be loon (or lewd) & some be shrewn (or shrewd)
Go shrew wherever you go

Some be ?? and some be sad
And some be tame understand
Some will eat bread from a man's hand

chorus

Some be angry can't tell wherefore
Some be scorning evermore
Some will tusk it like a boar

chorus

Some can wister and some can sigh
Some can flatter and some can lie
Some can set the mouth all awry

chorus

Some ?? like an ape
Some can neither play nor jape
Some of them be awful shape

chorus

Some of them be true at love
Beneath the girdle but not above
Some will tarry and some will rove

chorus
