It was a lover and his lass,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
That o'er the stubble fields did pass
(Together WILL caught 'em).
In the time of autumn,
When M.P.'s spout, and "manoeuvre" about;

With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino;

With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
The Country Voters are a power.

Both Parties simple HODGE would lime,
In the time of autumn, &c.
