'Twas at New Market you shall hear There did dwell a damsel fair At New Market you shall hear There did dwell a damsel fair Some may call her Bonny Kate Going to, coming from New Market late Oft times a lawyer she did meet Who enticed her with kisses sweet Oft times a lawyer she did meet Who enticed her with kisses sweet He enticed her more and more Showed her gold, showed her gold and silver store "If you will spend the night in town These five guineas I'll put down If you'll spend the night in town These five guineas I'll put down" So she took him to the Bell Where in service, where in service she did dwell "And can I have a bed" said he "For me wedded wife and me? "Can I have a bed" said he "For me wedded wife and me?" "Yes indeed" the landlord said And he did not, and he did not own his maid "Then can I have a supper dressed Fish and fowl of the best? "Can I have a supper dressed Fish and fowl of the best? And some wine to drink awhile For young Kate, for young Kate smoked many a mile" So the glass went round and round Till the score stood at one pound So the glass went round and round Till the score stood at one pound That the lawyer freely paid "Now to bed, now to bed young Kate" he said Young Kate was hindered on before At the top there was a door Kate was hindered on before At the top there was a door Young Kate she went straight way through And that's where she, that's where she bid him adieu Lord how the lawyer stamped and swore When he found he'd lost his dear How the lawyer stamped and swore When he found he'd lost his dear Young Kate's heart was filled with joy To think she'd got, to think she'd got five year old boys
