morning, bright morning, Good morning, Papa!Oh give me one kiss, For good morning, mamma! Trip upon trenchers, And dance upon dishes,My mother sent me for yeast, some yeast, She bid me tread lightly, And come again quickly,For fear the young men would play me some jest. Yet didnt you see, yet didnt… … Whats the news of the day,Good neighbour, I pray ?They say the balloonHas gone up to the moon. There was an old man in a velvet coat,He kissd a maid and gave her a groat;The groat was crackd and would not go.Ah, old man, do you serve me so ? 70
