About the Bush


About the bush, Willie,
About the beehive,
About the bush, Willie,
I'll meet thee alive.

Then to my ten shillings
Add you but a groat,
I'll go to Newcastle,
And buy a new coat.

Five and five shillings,
Five and a crown;
Five and five shillings
Will buy a new gown.

Five and five shillings,
Five and a groat;
Five and five shillings
Will buy a new coat.
