Lyrics
There was a wealthy farmer, lived in the North Country,
He had a lovely daughter, she was always frank and free,
And day-by-day, and night-by-night, she was always in my eye.
There was a jolly tinker lad, come to this farmer's house.
Have ye any pots or pans, or candlesticks to mend?
Or have ye any lodging's, for me, a single man?
Well the farmer, he thought it no harm, the tinker for to keep.
The lassie she thought it no harm, the tinker's bed to make.
But the tinker followed after her, and he did bar the door,
He's catched her by the middle small, and laid her on the floor,
He catched her by the middle small, an up against the door.
And 'twas there he took all wills over her, before she won away.
And its, oh, the bonnie lassie blushed, oh, but she got shamed,
Since you've taken the wills of me, come tell to me your name.
He whispered in the lassie's ear, they call me Davey Faa,
And you'll mind upon the happy night, among the bales of straw.
Six weeks had passed and gone, this maid grew white and pale.
Nine months and summer, brought her forth a bonnie son.
And since the baby's born so chic, I'll call him Davey Faa,
And will mind upon the happy night, among the bales of straw.
"For any man that weds my girl, that he'll get lands quite free".
"For any man that weds my girl, he will get gold quite free".
But altho' she's lost her maidenhead, oh, what's the worse is she?
