Communicated by Miss Margaret Reburn, as heard in County Meath, Ireland, about 1860.

Narrative

1   'How do you like my rug?' he said,
'And how do you like my sheets?
And how do you like my false ladie,
That lies in your arms asleep?'
2   'Well I like your rug my lord,
And well I like your sheets;
But better than all your fair ladie,
That lies in my arms asleep.'
