A
Weep not my wanton smile upon my kneeB
A
When thou art old there's grief enough for theeB
A
Mother's wag pretty boyC
A
Father's sorrow father's joyC
A
When thy father first did seeB
A
Such a boy by him and meB
A
He was glad I was woeD
A
Fortune changed made him soD
A
When he left his pretty boyC
A
Last his sorrow first his joyC
A
Weep not my wanton smile upon my kneeB
A
When thou art old there's grief enough for theeB
A
Streaming tears that never stintE
A
Like pearl drops from a flintE
A
Fell by course from his eyesF
A
That one another's place suppliesF
A
Thus he griev'd in every partG
A
Tears of blood fell from his heartG
A
When he left his pretty boyC
A
Father's sorrow father's joyC
A
Weep not my wanton smile upon my kneeB
A
When thou art old there's grief enough for theeB
A
The wanton smil'd father weptH
A
Mother cried baby leaptH
A
More he crow'd more he criedI
A
Nature could not sorrow hideI
A
He must go he must kissJ
A
Child and mother baby blessK
A
For he left his pretty boyC
A
Father's sorrow father's joyC
A
Weep not my wanton smile upon my kneeB
A
When thou art old there's grief enough for theeB
