〈♫〉〈♫〉 OH the bonny Christchurch Bells, 1 2 3 4 5 6; 〈♫〉〈♫〉 they found so wond'rous great 〈♫〉〈♫〉 so woundy sweet, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and they trowl so mer╌ri╌ly, mer╌ri╌ly. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Oh! the first and second Bell, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 that e╌ve╌ry day at Four and Ten, cry, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Come, come, come, come, come to Pray'rs; 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and the Vir╌ger troops before the Dean. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Tinkle, tinkle, ting, goes the small Bell at Nine, to call the Beerers home; 〈♫〉〈♫〉 but the Dev'l a Man 〈♫〉〈♫〉 will leave his Can, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 'till he hears the mighty Tom.
Another to the same TUNE.
HArk, the merry Tinker's crew, Nell, Doll, Moll, Kate, & Sue; They swig such wond'rous Ale, So woundy stale; And they Chat so merrily, merrily. Hark, the bawling Brats do cry Along the Streets, as you pass by, Oh, good Sir, pray Sir, one Farthing; And thus the Bantlins never lin. Tink, tink, tink, tink, tink, goes the Frying-pan, to call the Doxies home; But the Dev'l a Jade Will leave her Trade, 'Till the mighty Tinker comes.
