Verse 1
Dame Durden kept five servant maids
To carry the milking pail,
She also kept five labouring men
To use the spade and flail;
'Twas Moll and Bet, Doll and Kit,
And Dorothy Draggletail,
John and Dick, Joe and Jack
And Humphrey with his flail.
Chorus
John kissed Molly,
Dick kissed Betty,
Joe kissed Dolly,
Jack kissed Kitty
And Humphrey with his flail
Kissed Dorothy Draggletail,
And Kitty she was a charming maid
To carry the milking pail.
Verse 2
Dame Durden in the morn so soon
She did begin to call;
To rouse her servant maid s and men
She then began to bawl:
'Twas Moll and Bet, Doll and Kit,
And Dorothy Draggletail,
John and Dick, Joe and Jack,
And Humphrey with his flail.
Chorus
Verse 3
'Twas on the morn of Valentine,
The birds began to prate,
Dame Durden's servant maids and men
They all began to mate:
'Twas Moll and Bet, Doll and Kit,
And Dorothy Draggletail,
John and Dick, Joe and Jack,
And Humphrey with his flail.
Chorus
