From an article titled "Words, Idioms, &c., of the Vulgar" in Walford's Antiquarian Magazine and Bibliographical Review, Vol. 11, No. 64 edited by G. W. Redway (London: George Redway, 1887), page 254:

In ending this paper with two fragments of verse, "The Beggar's Belief" and "The Tramp's Hornpipe," it may be said that a wide field is open to the errant philologer, and, when he has cleared away the weeds, the chance flowers will repay him for his labour :—

THE BEGGAR'S BELIEF.

God made man, man made money,
God made bees, the bees make honey,
God made the devil, the devil made sin,
And then they dug a hole to put naughty people in.


THE TRAMP'S HORNPIPE.

The turnpike road, the turnpike road,
Have you seen the devil,
With a wood and iron shovel,
Digging up potatoes in the turnpike road?

Have you seen his wife,
With a broad-bladed knife,
Scraping his potatoes in the turnpike road?

Have you seen his daughter,
With a little pail of water,
Washing his potatoes in the turnpike road?

Have you seen his son,
With a double-barrelled gun,
Shooting birds for dinner in the turnpike road?
