It's once I courted as pretty a lass
This old nursery rhyme is called “It's once I courted as pretty a lass” — enjoy your reading!
“It's once I courted as pretty a lass,
As ever your eyes did see;
But now she's come to such a pass,
She never will do for me.
She invited me to her own house,
Where oft I'd been before,
And she tumbled me into the hog-tub,
And I'll never go there any more.”
