Little John Jiggy Jag, He rode a penny nag, And went to Wigan to woo; When he came to a beck, He fell and broke his neck,-- Johnny, how dost thou now?

A hat and a feather, To keep out cold weather; So, Johnny, how dost thou now?

Bessy Bell and Mary Gray,[*]

They were two bonny la.s.ses: They built their house upon the lea, And covered it with rashes.

Bessy kept the garden gate, And Mary kept the pantry: Bessy always had to wait, While Mary lived in plenty.

[Footnote *: The common tradition respecting these celebrated beauties is as follows:--"In the year 1666, when the plague raged at Perth, these ladies retired into solitude, to avoid infection; built on a small streamlet, tributary to the Almond, in a sequestered corner called _Burn-brae_, a bower, and lived in it together, till a young man, whom they both tenderly loved, in his visits communicated to them the fatal contagion, of which they soon after died."]

There was a little pretty lad, And he lived by himself, And all the meat he got He put upon a shelf.

The rats and the mice Did lead him such a life, That he went to Ireland To get himself a wife.

The lanes they were so broad, And the fields they were so narrow, He couldn't get his wife home Without a wheelbarrow.

The wheelbarrow broke, My wife she got a kick, The deuce take the wheelbarrow, That spared my wife's neck.

Dusty was his coat, Dusty was the siller, Dusty was the kiss I'd from the dusty miller.

If I had my pockets Full of gold and siller, I would give it all To my dusty miller.

_Chorus._ O the little, little, Rusty, dusty, miller.

Love your own, kiss your own.

Love your own mother, hinny, For if she was dead and gone, You'd ne'er get such another, hinny.
