Bethy in Our Streety

Of all the girls that are so smart
There’s none like pretty Bethy
She is the darling of my heart
And she lives in our streety.

It’s so to say no lady in the land
Pleases my soul like Bethy
She is the darling of my heart
And she lives in our streety.

Her father is a clergy
With eyes straight crying the Kingdom
And mother sells eatables giving energy
To as many are pleased she to buy from
They two bore under God (my heart!)
So sweet a dove as Bethy
She is the darling of my heart
And she lives in our streety.

When she is here a visit to make
Aside I pack all works; I love her sincerely
Thus my sins with kins o’erflow the lake
And I’m beaten severely
But let it, a thousand fold be
I’ll bear it all for Bethy
She is the darling of my heart
And she lives in our streety.

My friends take me out on dates
And often am I nagged
Because I leave them by the plates
As soon as treats are on table hanged
Out I sneak to Bethy
She is the darling of my heart
And she lives in our streety.

When Christmas comes again
Then I’d worked for months
O how much money I’d have without pain
I’ll box some and give to honey
I would it were a thousand dollars
To her I’ll still give the money
She is the darling of my heart
And she lives in our streety.

How our neighbours today
Make a fun of me and Bethy
But I’ll still my pure prettie serve each day
Till we wed as led, and bed as bred
But no longer in our streety.

O to clap for my children
Precious little tummied Tommies
From my wife’s tummy

Tiny feet within my house scampering
Little angels around chattering
They’re all born by Bethy
She is the darling of my heart
We are no longer in our streety!
