SONGSTER. 109
AI vvhoam, Pd often heard folks talk
Of Lunnun's famous city.
And that the stones on which they walk,
Wur pav'd with gold so pretty.
To mam and dad I gave a buss.
Says I, Pm off vor sartin.
So about my trip to make a fuss.
Is my eye and Betty Martin.
Ri tol de rol, &c.
At inn arrived, I met a man.
Who offered me his sarvice,
To take my baggage wur his plan,
And help me to a jarvis;
But stop, says I, this wunna do.
Your rigs I'ze known, vor sartin,
Your kindness, friend, 'tween me and you'i
My eye and Betty Martin.
Ri tol de rol, &c.
A lady n(»xt, a flashy dame,
. I in the Strand did meet, sir;
Who said as how it were a shame,
That I should walk the street, 3ir;
She talk'd of love, and sarvents, too,
And thought her prey right sartin.
But noa, says I, to go with you's
My eye and Betty Martin.
Ri tol de rol, &c.

The circus, Astley's, too, sir ;
The play, and giants strike the hour.
And all that's strange to view, sir.
So back to whoam PU tum again.
And marry Doll vor sartin,
Pze please her so, that to rorpplain's
