about

Another traditional folk song. The first two verses are from a nursery rhyme celebrating leather, when leather was bling. As for the rest of the song…………….:

lyrics

One misty, moisty morning, when cloudy was the weather,
I met with an old man clothed all in leather.
Clothed all in leather with a cap beneath his chin,

Chorus: How d’you do, how d’you do and how d’you again.
How d’you do, how d’you do and how d’you again.

This rustic was a thresher, as on his way he hide,
With a leather bottle, fast buckled by his side.
He wore no shirt upon his back, wool unto his skin,

Chorus:

I went a little further, and there I met a maid,
Going a milking, a milking Sir she said.
I began to complement, she began to sing,

Chorus:

This maid her name was Dolly, dressed in a cloak of grey,
Now being somewhat jolly I persuaded her to stay.
I fell into courting her, hoped her heart to win,

Chorus:

Now having time and leisure, I spent a vacant hour,
Telling of my treasure, sitting in the bower.
Fondle I embraced her, I stroked her double chin,

Chorus:

I said that I would married be, and she would be my bride,
No longer we should tarry and twenty things beside.
I would plough, reap and sow, she could sit and spin.

Chorus:

Her parents they consented, all parties were agreed,
Her portion thirty shillings, we married were with speed.
Will the piper he did play others dance and sing.

Chorus:

Then lusty Ralph and Robin with many a damsel gay,
Did ride on Rhone and Dobbin, to celebrate the day.
When they met together, their hats they of did fling.

Chorus:
