COme, come, come, come, ... let us leave, ..
Let us, let us leave the Town, come, come, come, come,
Come, come, come, come, let us leave, ..
Let us, let us, let us leave the Town, & in some lovly place
Where Crouds and Noise, where Crouds and Noise
Were never, never, never, never known,
Re-sol—ve to spend our days,
In pleasant, pleasant Sha—des,
In pleasant, pleasant Shades upon the Grass
At Night our selves we'll lay,
Our days in harmless sports shall pass,
Our days in harmless sports, in harmless sports shall pass,
Thus time shall sli—de away.

Call, call, call, call, ... call the Coach, ..
Call the, call the Coach away, call, call, call, call,
Call, call, call, call, .. call the Coach, ..
Call the, call the, call the Coach away, & let us go in time
To Woods and Groves, to Woods and Groves,
Let's hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, straight,
Where Charm—ing Birds do Sing,
Their Tuneful, Tuneful No—tes,
Their Tuneful, Tuneful Notes does sound each day,
There let us on the Ground
Within each others Arms to lye,
Within each others Arms, each others Arms to lye,
And tumble o—n the Ground.

What, what, what, what, .. is there in, ..
Is there, is therein this Town, what what what what?
What, what, what, what, .. is there in, ..
Is there, is there, is there in this Town but lewd Debauchery
We Drink all night, we Drink all night,
And tipple, tipple, tipple, tipple on,
Till Bot—tles fly about,
Then Whinnyard, Whinnyard's dra—wn,
Then whinnyard, whinnyard's drawn & one's ran thro'
This is the Trade o'th' Town.
Then let's a Country life all live,
Then let's a Country life, a Country life all live
Where Lewdness i—s not known.
IV.
Come, come, come, come, ... let us go, ..
Let us, let us go with speed, come, come, come, come, ...
Come, come, come, come, let us go, ..
Let us, let us, let us go with speed & leave this nasty Town
For wine and Punk, for wine and Punk,
Does ever, ever, ever, ever make
Us Ma—d by being Drunk,
Then follow, follow Boy—s,
Then follow, follow Boys, let's goe while sound
To Pleasure Night and Day,
Where fresh young Country Maids are found,
Where fresh young Country Maids, young Country Mai
[...] are sound
To pass the ti—me away.
