This winters weather itt waxeth cold	A
And frost doth freese on every hill	B
And Boreas blowes his blasts soe bold	A
That all our cattell are like to spill	B
Bell my wife who loves noe strife	C
She sayd unto my quietlye	D
'Rise up and save cow Crumbockes liffe	E
Man put thine old cloake about thee '	F
	-
He	G
'O Bell why dost thou flyte 'and scorne '	-
Thou kenst my cloake is very thine	H
Itt is soe are and overworne	H
A cricke he theron cannot runn	H
Then Ile noe longer borrowe nor lend	I
'For once He new appareld bee	G
To morrow He to towne and spend '	-
For Ile have a new cloake about mee '	-
	-
She	G
'Cow Crumbocke is a very good cowe	J
She ha beene alwayes true to the payle	B
Shee has helpt us to butter and cheese I trow	K
And other things shee will not fayle	B
I wold be loth to see her pine	H
Good husband councell take of mee	G
It is not for us to go soe fine	H
Man take thine old cloake about thee '	-
	-
He	G
'My cloake it was a verry good cloake	L
Itt hath been alwayes true to the weare	K
But now it is not worth a groat	M
I have had it for four and forty yeere	K
Sometime itt was of cloth in graine	H
'Tis now but a sigh clout as you may see	G
It will neither hold out winde nor raine	H
And Ile have a new cloake about mee '	-
	-
She	G
'It is four and fortye yeeres agoe	L
Since the one of us the other did ken	H
And we have had betwixt us towe	K
Of children either nine or ten	H
Wee have brought them up to women and men	H
In the feare of God I trow they bee	G
And why wilt thou thyself mistaken	H
Man take thine old cloake about thee '	-
	-
He	G
'O Bell my wiffe why dost thou floute	M
Now is nowe and then was then	H
Seeke now all the world throughout	M
Thou kenst not clownes from gentlemen	H
They are clad in blacke greene yellowe or 'gray '	-
Soe far above their owne degree	G
Once in my life Ile 'do as they'	N
For Ile have a new cloake about mee '	-
	-
She	G
'King Stephen was a worthy peere	G
His breeches cost him but a crowne	H
He held them sixpence all to deere	G
Therefore he calld the taylor Lowne	H
He was a wight of high renowne	H
And thouse but of a low degree	G
Itt's pride that putts the countrye downe	H
Then take thine old cloake about thee '	-
	-
He	G
''Bell my wife she loves not strife	C
Yet she will lead me if she can	H
And oft to live a quiet life	C
I am forced to yield though Ime good man'	H
Itt's not for a man with a woman to threape	O
Unlesse he first give oer the plea	G
As wee began wee now mun leave	P
And Ile take mine old cloake about mee '	-
