I see here versions similar to the one I recall from the 1950s in England Uk. It goes..

The moonlight shone upon the village green and upon little Nell who was waiting for a boyfriend. Like bloody Hell!

Along came dirty dick the captain of a lugger who wasn't fit for shoveling shit from one place to another.

He took her to a wayside inn - that wasn't really lawful and when he took his trousers down the pong was bloody awful.

He took her to the shagging bed with sheets as black as charcoal and he shagged her 'til her tits turned red and sparks flew out her arshole.

Notes: trousers are pants in USA speak
The implication is that Nell was a prostitute ( lady of the night etc ).
It was made illegal ( not sure when ) to take a women to a licenced premises such as a pub or Inn for the purposes of prostitution. Hence it wasn't really lawful.
