Rhyme Scheme: ABCCD EFGGF HIJJI KLMML NKOOK PQRJQ SBCCD| I hate that Andrew Jones he'll breed | A |
| His children up to waste and pillage | B |
| I wish the press gang or the drum | C |
| With its tantara sound would come | C |
| And sweep him from the village | D |
| - | |
| I said not this because he loves | E |
| Through the long day to swear and tipple | F |
| But for the poor dear sake of one | G |
| To whom a foul deed he had done | G |
| A friendless man a travelling cripple | F |
| - | |
| For this poor crawling helpless wretch | H |
| Some horseman who was passing by | I |
| A penny on the ground had thrown | J |
| But the poor cripple was alone | J |
| And could not stoop no help was nigh | I |
| - | |
| Inch thick the dust lay on the ground | K |
| For it had long been droughty weather | L |
| So with his staff the cripple wrought | M |
| Among the dust till he had brought | M |
| The half pennies together | L |
| - | |
| It chanced that Andrew passed that way | N |
| Just at the time and there he found | K |
| The cripple in the mid day heat | O |
| Standing alone and at his feet | O |
| He saw the penny on the ground | K |
| - | |
| He stopped and took the penny up | P |
| And when the cripple nearer drew | Q |
| Quoth Andrew Under half a crown | R |
| What a man finds is all his own | J |
| And so my Friend good day to you | Q |
| - | |
| And 'hence' I said that Andrew's boys | S |
| Will all be trained to waste and pillage | B |
| And wished the press gang or the drum | C |
| With its tantara sound would come | C |
| And sweep him from the village | D |
