a. l. lloyd - the parson and the maid lyrics
oh listen, me lads, and i’ll tell you the tale
of a parson who loved a maiden well
he came to her while she was in bed
with a fancy to have her maidenhead
says she, “i grant you your desire
if it weren’t for the fear of h+ll’s old fire.”
says he, “of h+ll’s old fire please have no doubt;
if you were in i could whistle you out.”
then says the maid, “you’ll have your request.”
and the parson hе grinned like a fox in his nest
“but bеfore that we may do this thing
some money unto me you must bring!”
he brought the money, and did it down tell;
she had a sheet spread over the well
she thanked the parson and took his money
says he, “now let’s go do it sweet honey.”
but the fair maid cried that her father was come;
“oho,” says the parson, “where shall i run?”
“oh you must go behind that screen
and then by my dad you won’t be seen.”
behind the screen the parson crept
and into the well of a sudden he leapt
he gave a great screech and a pitiful moan
“oh help, oh help, else i’ll be drowned!”
“you said you’d whistle me out of h+ll
now whistle your own self out of the well
and as for your money there’s nothing to tell
for you must pay for fouling the well.”
now all who heard commend the maid
for the nimble trick that she had played
the parson he ran down the street
shaking his ears like a newly+washed sheep
