Two swains or clowns but call them swains	A
Whilst keeping flocks on Salisbury plains	A
For all that tend on sheep as drovers	A
Are turned to songsters or to lovers	A
Each of the lass he call'd his dear	B
Began to carol loud and clear	B
First Huggins sang and Duggins then	C
In the way of ancient shepherd men	C
Who thus alternate hitched in song	D
All things by turns and nothing long	D
	-
	-
HUGGINS	A
	-
Of all the girls about our place	A
There's one beats all in form and face	A
Search through all Great and Little Bumpstead	E
You'll only find one Peggy Plumstead	E
	-
	-
DUGGINS	A
	-
To groves and streams I tell my flame	F
I make the cliffs repeat her name	F
When I'm inspired by gills and noggins	A
The rocks re echo Sally Hoggins	A
	-
	-
HUGGINS	A
	-
When I am walking in the grove	G
I think of Peggy as I rove	G
I'd carve her name on every tree	H
But I don't know my A B C	H
	-
	-
DUGGINS	A
	-
Whether I walk in hill or valley	H
I think of nothing else but Sally	H
I'd sing her praise but I can sing	I
No song except God save the king	I
	-
	-
HUGGINS	A
	-
My Peggy does all nymphs excel	J
And all confess she bears the bell	J
Where'er she goes swains flock together	K
Like sheep that follow the bell wether	K
	-
	-
DUGGINS	A
	-
Sally is tall and not too straight	E
Those very poplar shapes I hate	E
But something twisted like an S	A
A crook becomes a shepherdess	A
	-
	-
HUGGINS	A
	-
When Peggy's dog her arms empris'n	C
I often wish my lot was hisn	C
How often I should stand and turn	C
To get a pat from hands like hern	C
	-
	-
DUGGINS	A
	-
I tell Sall's lambs how blest they be	H
To stand about and stare at she	H
But when I look she turns and shies	A
And won't bear none but their sheep's eyes	A
	-
	-
HUGGINS	A
	-
Love goes with Peggy where she goes	A
Beneath her smile the garden grows	A
Potatoes spring and cabbage starts	A
'Tatoes have eyes and cabbage hearts	A
	-
	-
DUGGINS	A
	-
Where Sally goes it's always Spring	I
Her presence brightens everything	I
The sun smiles bright but where her grin is	A
It makes brass farthings look like guineas	A
	-
	-
HUGGINS	A
	-
For Peggy I can have no joy	L
She's sometimes kind and sometimes coy	L
And keeps me by her wayward tricks	A
As comfortless as sheep with ticks	A
	-
	-
DUGGINS	A
	-
Sally is ripe as June or May	M
And yet as cold as Christmas Day	M
For when she's asked to change her lot	E
Lamb's wool but Sally she wool not	E
	-
	-
HUGGINS	A
	-
Only with Peggy and with health	N
I'd never wish for state or wealth	N
Talking of having health and more pence	A
I'd drink her health if I had fourpence	A
	-
	-
DUGGINS	A
	-
Oh how that day would seem to shine	C
If Sally's banns were read with mine	C
She cries when such a wish I carry	H
Marry come up but will not marry	H
