John Barbury
Kate Rusby - 《Awkward Annie》
There was a lady fine and gay
She looked so neat and trim;
She went into her own garden-wall
And there she spies her daughter Jane
Oh have you had some long sickness
Or lain ye with some young man??
No I have had no long sickness
Her petticoats they were so short
She was a nine months gone
She was a nine months gone
Oh is it by some nobleman?
Who lately come from Spain??
But it is by John Barbary
Who lately come from Spain?
Who lately come from Spain?
And she's calld down her merry men
John Barbary was once the first
Oh will you take my daughter Jane
And you will dine and sup with me
And be heir to all my land?
Oh I will take your daughter Jane
And I will dine and sup with you
But I do not want your land?
For I have houses and I have land
And money out by the grand
And had it not been for your daughter
I'd never be your man I'd never be your man
