Mother, I will have a husband, And I will have him out of hand. Mother, I will sure have one, In spite of her that will have none. John-a-Dun should have had me long ere this, He said I had good lips to kiss. Mother, I will sure have one, In spite of her that will have none. For I have heard 'tis trim when folks do love, By good Sir John I swear I'll prove. My other I will sure have one, In spite of her that will have none. To the town therefore will I gad, To get me a husband good or bad. Mother I will have a husband, And I will have him out of hand. Mother, I will sure have one, In spite of her that will have none.
