    Far off in Lancashire, under a thorn,
    Where they sup sour milk in a ram's horn.

    Little boy, pretty boy, where was you born?

    At Brill on the Hill,
    The wind blows shrill,
        The cook no meat can dress;
    At Stow in the Wold
    The wind blows cold, -
        I know no more than this.

    Riding away to Galloway,
        To buy a pound o' woo.

        And couldn't tell where to find her,
    Till she came home both lame and blind,
        With never a tail behind her.
