THE JOLLY WAGGONER [ Roud 1088 ]

Well, Martinmas is coming, lads, what pleasures we shall see
Like chaff before the wind, my lads, we'll make our money flee
And every lad shall take his lass and he'll have her on his knee.

I note that some versions of the song have a verse in Michaelmas, 29 September rather than Martinmas, 11 November.

Now Michaelmas is coming on, what pleasures we shall see!
I'll make the gold to fly, me boys, like chaff before the breeze!
And every lad shall take his lass and sit her on his knee
