• A kiss in the morning early

Twas early one morning the fair maid arose
And dressed herself up in the finest of clothes
And off to the shoemaker's shop sure she goes
For a kiss in the morning early

The cobbler arose and he soon let her in
His awl and his hammer were neat as a pin
And he had the will for to greet her so slim
With a kiss in the morning early

Oh cobbler oh cobbler 'tis soon we'll be wed
And nestling together in a fine feather bed
So give me two shoes with two buckles of red
For my kiss in the morning early

The maid hid the shoes at the back of her waist
She praised his good cobbling and shoemaker's taste
And home to her father she (mournfully faced?)
For it was in the morning early

Oh father oh father I've got me a man
And he is the one I would wed if I can
As handsome as ever in leather did stand
For my kiss in the morning early

The father was thinking and thinking again
For to wed her to riches and have him for kin
Who knows but it might be a prince or a king
That she met in the morning early

Who knows but it might be a jobber from town
Or a wealthy sea captain who's sailed the world 'round
A man with some thousands and thousands of pounds
That she met in the morning early

So the father was smiling, his daughter embraced
And touching the buckles he drew back in haste
He spied the red shoes that were tied 'round her waist
For (it was?) in the morning early

Oh daughter oh daughter he started to shout
When he did discover what she was about
God knows it was none but that old cobbling clout
That you met in the morning early
