I was born of jaunty parents, one day when I was young,
that southern squire and his wife, they gave me native tongue.
That I was a pretty baby, my mother she would vow,
the girls all ran to kiss me, oh, I wish they'd do it now!
Oh, I wish they'd do it now,
Oh, I wish they'd do it now!
I've got itches in me britches,
And I wish they'd do it now!
Well when I was only six months old, the girls would handle me.
They'd clutch me to their bosoms, and they'd bounce me on their knee.
They would rock me in the cradle, and if I made a row,
They'd tickle me, they'd cuddle me, I wish they'd do it now!
[CHORUS]
At sixteen months as fine a lad, as ever could be seen,
The girls all liked to follow me, right down to the green.
They'd make a chain of buttercups, drop it on me brow,
then they'd roll me in the clover, oh, I wish they'd do it now!
[CHORUS]
Them Eastend girls would call for me, to swim when it was mild.
Down to the river we would go, to splash about a while.
They would throw the water over me, duck me like a cow,
Then they'd rub me nice all over, oh, I wish they'd do it now!
[CHORUS]
It’s awful lonely for a lad, to live a single life.
I think I'll go to the dance tonight, and find meself a wife.
Oh, I’ve got me six fine brundled pigs, likewise one big, fat sow,
there’ll be plenty love and bacon, for the girl who'll have me now!
For the girl who'll have me now!
For the girl who'll have me now!
There’ll be plenty love and bacon,
For the girl who'll have me now!
For the girl who'll have me now!
For the girl who'll have me now!
There’ll be plenty love and bacon,
For the girl who'll have me now!
