| Lay the mutton down to roast | B |
| Dress it quickly I desire | A |
| In the dripping put a toast | B |
| That I hunger may remove | C |
| Mutton is the meat I love | D |
| On the dresser see it lie | E |
| Oh the charming white and red | F |

| On the sweetest grass it fed | F |

| Let me have it nice and brown'd | G |
| On the table spread the cloth | H |
| Let the knives be sharp and clean | I |

| Let them each be fresh and green | I |
| With small beer good ale and wine | K |
| Oh ye gods how I shall dine | K |
