A Soidier and a Sailor Sung by Mr. Doggett at the Theatre  
 

A Soldier and a Sailor  
a Turker and a tailor  
had once a doubtful strife  
sir to make a maid a Wife  
Sir whose name was buxom joan,  
whose name was buxom Joan,  
For now the time was ended when She no more Intendid  
to lick her lips at men Sir  
and know the Sheets in vain Sir.  
and lie o' Nights alone,  
and lie o' Nights a loan.

The Soldier Swore like Thunder,  
He loved her more then Plunder;  
And showed her many a Scar Sir,  
Which he had brought from far Sir,  
With fighting for her Sake.  
The tailor thought to please her,  
With off-ring her his measure;  
The Tinker too with mettle,  
Said he could mend her Kettle,  
And Stop up evry Leak.

But while those three were prating,  
The Sailor slily waiting;  
Thought if it came about Sir.  
That they should all fall out Sir,  
He then might Play his Part,  
And Just een as he meant Sir,  
To Logger-heads they went Sir,  
And then he let fly at her,  
A Shot twixt wind and water,  
Which won this Fair Maids Heart.
