The DT lyrics of Cakes and Ale have a few errors (struck, wanderers)
It should be:

CAKES AND ALE (CATCH)

(1) I gave her cakes and I gave her ale,
And I gave her sack and sherry;
I kissed her once and I kissed her twice,
And we were wondrous merry!

(2) I gave her beads and bracelets fine,
And I gave her gold, down derry.
I thought she was afear'd till she stroked my beard
And we were wondrous merry!

(3) Merry my heart, merry my cocks, merry my sprights,
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry, my hey down derry.
I kissed her once and I kissed her twice,
And we were wondrous merry!
