When She Came Into The Parlour, She Curtseyed
(When she came into the parlour she curtseyed)

O, when she came into the parlour, she curtseyed full low!
O, when she came into the parlour, she curtseyed full low!
And when she came into the parlour, she kissed Cockpen,
And then she denied she did it at all!

And was not Cockpen right saucy with all ?
And was not Cockpen right saucy with all,
In leaving the daughter of a lord,
And kissing a collier lassie and all?

' O, never look down, my lassie, at all'!
O, never look down, my lassie, at all'!
Your lips are as sweet, and your figure complete,
As the finest dame in castle or hall.

Although you have no silk, and fine Holland linen so small,
Although you have no silk, and fine Holland linen so small,
Your coat and your undershirt are your own handy-work,
And Lady Jean was never so lovely.'
