(English folk song]

There was an old woman as I've heard tell Who went to the market her eggs for to sell, She went to market all on a market day And she fell asleep on the King's highway.

There came by a pedlar whose name is Stout. He cut her petticoats all round about. He cut her petticoats up to her knees Which made the old woman shiver and freeze.

When this little woman first did awake, She began to shiver and she began to shake. She began to wonder and she began to cry "Lauk a mercy on me, this is none of I!

But if it be as I do hope it be,

I've a little dog at home and he'll know me.

If it be I, he'll wag his little tail,

And if it be not I, he will loudly bark and wail."

Home went the little woman in the dark. Up got the little dog and began to bark. He began to bark and she began to cry "Lauk a mercy on me, this be none of I!"
