k<-^ 7^ ^1S m .- JJ ■^ ^^ i Of all ihc clays thats in the week I dearly lo\e but one day—And thats the day that comes betwixt A Saturday and Monday :For then Im drest all in my best To walk abroad with Sally ;She is the darling of my heart, And she lives in our alley. My master carries me to church, And often am I blamedBecause I leave him in the lurcii As soon as text is named ;I leave the church in sermon-time And slink a\vay to Sally ;She is the darling of my heart, And she lives in our alley. When Christmas comes about again, 0 then 1 shall have money ;Ill hoard it up, and box it all, Ill give it to my honey:I would it were ten thousand pound, Id give it all to Sally ;She is the darling of my heart, And she lives in our alley. My master and the neighbours all Make game of me and Sally,And, but for her, Id better be A slave, and row a galley ;But when my seven long years are out O then Ill marry Sally,—O then well wed, and then well bed. But not in our alley! ^f
