Verse 1
I went into the stable to see what I could see,
And there I saw three horses stand by one, two and three;
I called unto my loving wife - 'I'm coming sir', said she;
'Pray what do these three horses here without the leave of me?'
'Why you old fool! Blind fool! Can't you very well see?
They are three milking cows my granny sent to me.'
'Ods bobs! What fun! Milking cows with saddles on!
The like was never seen!
If ever I go out from home a cuckold I come in.'
Verse 2
I went into the kitchen to see what I could see,
And there I saw three hats hung by one, two and three;
I called unto my loving wife - 'I'm coming sir,' said she;
'Pray what do these three hats here without the leave of me?'
'Why you old fool! Blind fool! Can't you very well see?
They are three milking pails my granny sent to me.'
'Ods bobs! What fun! Milking pails with brims on!
The like was never seen!
If ever I go out from home a cuckold I come in.'
Verse 3
I went into the kitchen to see what I could see,
And there I saw three whips hung by one, two and three;
I called unto my loving wife - 'I'm coming sir,' said she;
'Pray what do these three whips here without the leave of me?'
'Why you old fool! Blind fool! Can't you very well see?
They are three pokers my granny sent to me.'
''Ods bobs! What fun! Pokers with lashes on!
The like was never seen!
If ever I go out from home a cuckold I come in.'
Verse 4
I went into the kitchen to see what I could see,
And there I saw three coats hung by one, two and three;
I called unto my loving wife - 'I'm coming sir,' said she;
'Pray what do these three coats here without the leave of me?'
'Why you old fool! Blind fool! Can't you very well see?
They are three butter cloths my granny sent to me.'
'Ods bobs! What fun! Butter cloths with buttons on!
The like was never seen!
If ever I go out from home a cuckold I come in.'
Verse 5
I looked beneath the table to see what I could see,
And there I saw three pairs of boots by one, two and three;
I called unto my loving wife - 'I'm coming sir,' said she;
'Pray what do these three pairs of boots here without the leave of me?'
'Why you old fool! Blind fool! Can't you very well see?
They are three flower pots my granny sent to me.'
'Ods bobs! What fun! Flower pots with spurs on!
The like was never seen!
If ever I go out from home a cuckold I come in.'
Verse 6
I went into the kitchen to see what I could see,
And there I saw three hats hung by one, two and three;
I called unto my loving wife - 'I'm coming sir,' said she;
'Pray what do these three hats here without the leave of me?'
'Why you old fool! Blind fool! Can't you very well see?
They are three milking pails my granny sent to me.'
'Ods bobs! What fun! Milking pails with brims on!
The like was never seen!
If ever I go out from home a cuckold I come in.'
Verse 7
I went into the chamber to see what I could see,
And there I saw three strange men lie by one, two and three;
I called unto my loving wife - 'I'm coming sir,' said she;
'Pray what do these three men here without the leave of me?'
'Why you old fool! Blind fool! Can't you very well see?
They are three dairy maids my granny sent to me.'
'Ods bobs! What fun! Dairy maids with beards on!
The like was never seen!
If ever I go out from home a cuckold I come in.'
