Now some do say the wheeler's best
But I would not say so
If it weren't for us poor labouring men
What would those wheelers do?
We buys up all their old odds and ends
And so the gain comes in
For there's never a trade in all England
Like we poor labouring men
And some do say the blacksmith's best
But I do not say so
If it weren't for us poor labouring men
What would those blacksmiths do?
We wears out all their old cutters and shears
And so the gain comes in
For there's never a trade in all England
Like we poor labouring men
And some do say the tailor's best
But I would not say so
If it weren't for us poor labouring men
What would those tailors do?
They'd wear out all their old britches
And so the gain comes in
For there's never a trade in all England
Like we poor labouring men
And now some do say the shoemaker's best
But I would not say so
If it weren't for us poor labouring men
What would those shoemakers do?
They'd wear out all their old boots and shoes
And so the trade comes in
For there's never a trade in all England
Like we poor labouring men
And some do say the baker's best
But I would not say so
If it weren't for us poor labouring men
What would those bakers do?
We'd buy up all their old stale bread
Until the trade comes in
For there's never a trade in all England
Like we poor labouring men
And some do say the brewer's best
But I will not say so
If it weren't for us poor labouring men
What would those brewers do?
We buys up all the old four penny beer
And so the gain comes in
And there's never a trade in all England
Like we poor labouring men
And so the gain comes in
For there's never a trade in all England
Like we poor labouring men
