| I pitched my day's leazings in Crimmercrock Lane | B |
| To tie up my garter and jog on again | C |
| When a dear dark eyed gentleman passed there and said | D |
| In a way that made all o' me colour rose red | D |
| What do I see | E |
| O pretty knee | E |
| And he came and he tied up my garter for me | E |

| 'Twixt sunset and moonrise it was I can mind | F |
| Ah 'tis easy to lose what we nevermore find | F |
| Of the dear stranger's home of his name I knew nought | F |
| But I soon knew his nature and all that it brought | F |
| Then bitterly | E |
| Sobbed I that he | E |
| Should ever have tied up my garter for me | E |

| Yet now I've beside me a fine lissom lad | F |
| And my slip's nigh forgot and my days are not sad | F |
| My own dearest joy is he comrade and friend | F |
| He it is who safe guards me on him I depend | F |
| No sorrow brings he | E |
| And thankful I be | E |
| That his daddy once tied up my garter for me | E |
