Verse 1
When I was young, in my youthful days,
About four and twenty years old,
I spent my time in vanity,
Along with the ladies so bold.
Verse 2
I wore the ravels all round my wrist,
And a cane all in my hand;
No farmer’s son would I accept,
Not one in all the land.
Verse 3
I kept a pack of good hounds, my boys,
And servants to wait upon me,
And I did intend my money to spend,
And that you can plainly see.
Verse 4
I kept a coach and six bay horses,
And hangers all round about,
A golden tassel on each horse’s head,
Just ready for me to drive out.
Verse 5
I steered my coach to Ipswich town,
Horse racing for to see,
And there I spend a thousand pound
