It looks like an 18th Cent comic opera piece any ideas of its originBlowsabella me dancing doxie, Come lets trudge it to Kirkham fair Theres stout liquor enough to fox me and young cullies to buy thy wares
Mind your manners, you sot, without meddling How I manage to sell of me toys Get by piping as I do by peddling You need never want me for supplies
God, of mercy my dear sweeting I found our things fitting To head by this twitting I owe thee a crown.
For that I've been staying A greater debt paying You're rate of delaying Will never compound
I'll come home when my pouch is full And soundly pay thee all old arrears
You'll forget it you're pates so dull As by you drowsy neglect of peers
May the drone of my bag never hum If I fail to remember my blouse
May my buttocks be every ones drum If I think thou will pay me a souse
Squeak em squeak em, Bagpipe will make 'em Whiskin frisk'in money brings in
Smoking toping landlady groping Whore and scores will spend it again
By the best that I get into town I swear thou shall have every groat
By the worse't that a woman e're found If I have it will signify nought
If good nature works the better Blowsabella I'd have you to know Though you fancy my stock is so low I've more rhino that I always show For some good reasons to state that I know
As for your cheating I've always knew As for my ware I've got something too I've got more sense than to tell you
Singly let employ wit I'll use pipes as my game does hit
And if I a new chapman get You'll be easy too
Easy as any worn out shoe
Free a frolic we'll couple gratis Thus we'll show all the human race That the best of the marriage state is Blowsabella and Colincase
