about

1676 and 1712

From A Warning for Housekeepers... by one who was a prisoner in Newgate 1676.
The second version from the Triumph of Wit (1712).

to the tune of the Miller of Dee.

lyrics

I

The budge it is a delicate trade,
And a delicate trade of fame;
For when that we have bit the bloe,
We carry away the game:
But if the cully naps us,
And the lurries from us take,
O then he rubs us to the whitt
Though we are not worth a make

II

And when that we come unto the whitt,
For garnish they do cry;
Mary, faugh, you son of a whore;
We promise our lusty comrogues
They shall have it by and bye
Then, every man with his mort in his hand,
With a kiss we part, and westward stand,
To the nubbing cheat in a cart.

III

And when we come to the nubbing cheat
For running on the budge,
There stands Jack Ketch, that son of a bitch
That owes us all a grudge.
And when that he hath noosed us,
And our friends tip him no cole,
O then he throws us in the cart
And tumbles us into the hole.

IV

But if we have a friend stand by,
Six and eight pence for to pay,
Then they may have our bodies back,
And carry us quiet away:
For at St Giles’s or St Martin’s,
A burying place is still;
And there’s an end of a darkman’s budge,
And the whoreson hath his will.
