SONGSTER. 69<br />
Meanwhile she got acquainted witt.<br />
A rambUng mad play actor.<br />
If she would have him, he did say,<br />
A lady he would make her,<br />
So he gammon'd her to run away.<br />
And I lost my Betsey Baker.<br />
Fal de ral.<br />
To <strong>the</strong> Park Theatre next I went.<br />
Where my surprise was heighten'd,<br />
To see my love toss'd to and fro.<br />
By a black O<strong>the</strong>llo frighten'd.<br />
He told her for to get to bed.<br />
To kill her he did shake her,<br />
I cried aloud, O don't do that!<br />
'Tis my sweet Betsey Baker.<br />
Fal de ral.<br />
The people <strong>the</strong>y cried, turn him out!<br />
And I was so ashamed <strong>of</strong> it.<br />
For kicking up is all <strong>the</strong> row.<br />
But Betsey should be blamed for't.<br />
The farce came on soon after that,<br />
I think it was <strong>the</strong> C^uaker,<br />
When who should come again, that's pat.<br />
But my sweet Betsey Baker.<br />
Fal de ral.<br />
And now I must conclude my song.<br />
Before to-morrow morning ;<br />
Lest you might think it ra<strong>the</strong>r long,<br />
And I should set you yawning.<br />
If any nice young lady here<br />
Is pretty, I will take her.<br />
Providing that she is fond <strong>of</strong> me.<br />
And her name is Betsey Baker.<br />
Fal de ral.
