A NEW SONG of Mallinger, OR, The Female Dear-Joy tricked of her Maidenhead.  
To a New Irish Tune.  

AS I went to Mallinger Fair  
with my Barrel of Bear,  
I met with young Peggy,  
who's Beauty was clear.   

Ratting a rue  
Ratting a Rew re rue re-rew re-rew,  
Rating a Rew re-rew re-rew re-rew,  
Fa re-rew re-rew re-reen  
Fa re-rew re rue re-reen,  
Hay bew Hoi baen,  
Ratting a rue.   

Her Eyes they were black,  
and her Face it was clear;  
Her Lips was like Correll,  
and white was her hair.   

Ratting a rue, etc.   

Her Voice sounded sweetly  
as she went along,  
For she was singing  
a delicate Song.   

Ratting a rue, etc.   

Sweet Peggy said I,  
your Beauty's so bright,  
And your Voice is so sweet,  
makes me wish for delight.   

Ratting a rue, etc.   

My Dearest said I,  
let me kiss your white hand,  
And all that I have  
shall be at your Command.   

Ratting a rue, etc.   

Dear Peggy said I,  
to the Tavern let us go,  
A Bottle of Wine  
I will on thee bestow.   

Ratting a rue, etc.   

I will give thee fine Rigging  
and toping to wear,  
And a pair of new gloves  
at Mallinger Fair.   

Ratting a rue, etc.   

The more I did Court her,  
the more she was shey▪  
Till at length I resolved  
a Trick for to try.   

Ratting a rue, etc.   

Then I gave her a Kiss,  
and well pleased was she,  
And for to go with me  
she strait did agree;   

Ratting a rue, etc.   

Alas my Dear Peggy  
why are you so unkind,  
For we shall be Married  
when the D— goes blind.   

Ratting a rue, etc.   

The sweetest Delight  
that is under the Sun,  
Is to lie by the Barrel  
and see the Tap run.   

Ratting a rue etc.   

But when we had Drunken  
two Bottles of Wine,  
I found my Dear Mistress  
both Loving and Kind.   

Ratting a rue, etc.   

I tipped her a Wenk,  
and backward she fell,  
And twenty weeks after  
her Belly did swell.   

Ratting a rue, etc.   

And twenty weeks after  
she sat down and cried,  
It's this I have gotten  
by strydling so wide.   

Ratting a Rew.  
Ratting a Rew re-rew re-rew re-rew,  
Ratting a Rew re-rew re rue re-rew,  
Fa re rue re rue re-reen,  
Fa re rue re rue re reen,  
Hay bew Hoi baen;  
Ratting a Rew.
