the ploughboy and the cockney - cara luft lyrics

it’s of a london c-ckney i now will relate
he went into the country to find himself a mate
he went into the country to find himself a mate
he rode and he rode until he came to some public town
 and there he alighted to drink at the crown
and there he alighted to drink at the crown
a beautiful damsel he there did espy
which caused him to tarry and therefore to bide
which caused him to tarry and therefore to bide
he said, “my fair damsel, if you will be mine
 then all the gold and silver i have shall be thine
then all the gold and silver i have shall be thine.”
but a ploughboy was standing by and hearin’ him say so
 he said, “me london c-ckney, i know what i know,”
he said, “me london c-ckney, i know what i know.”
“we shall take up our arrows and go fight in the field 
we’ll fight a good battle and gain her good will
we’ll fight a good battle and gain her good will.”
and when he said this, he gave him such a blow
“oh, now me london c-ckney, you know what i know!
now me london c-ckney, you know what i know!”
oh, it never shall be said on all the plough bench
that a ploughboy was not willin’ to fight for his wench  that a ploughboy was not willin’ to fight for his wench
“oh, carry me to london and there let me die
don’t let me die here in a strange country 
don’t let me die here in a strange country.”
