11Bring us in no brown bread for that is made of bran,Bring us in no beef, sir, for that is full of bones,
22Nor bring us in no white bread for therein is no gain,But bring home good ale enough, for that my love alone is:
33But bring us in good ale, and bring us in good ale,Bring us home good ale, sir, bring us home good ale,
44For our blessed lady's sake bring us in good ale!And for our dear lady, lady love - bring us some good ale.

66Bring us in no bacon for that is passing fatBring us home no wheaten bread, for that be full of bran;
77But bring us in good ale and give us enough of that,Neither of no rye bread, for that is of that same,
88And bring us in good ale, and bring us in good ale,But bring us home good ale, sir, bring us home good ale,
99For our blessed lady's sake bring us in good ale!And for our dear lady, lady love - bring us some good ale.

1111Bring us in no butter for there in are many hairs,Bring us home no pork, sir, for that is very fat;
1212Nor bring us in no pig's flesh for that will make us boars,Neither no barley bread, for neither love I that,
1313But bring us in good ale, and bring us in good ale,But bring us home good ale, sir, bring us home good ale,
1414For our blessed lady's sake bring us in good ale!And for our dear lady, lady love - bring us some good ale.
1515
1616Bring us in no egges for there are many shells,Bring us in no mutton, sir, for that is tough and lean,
1717But bring us in good ale and give us nothing else,Neither no tripes, sir, for they be seldom clean,
1818And bring us in good ale, and bring us in good ale,But bring us home good ale, sir, bring us home good ale,
1919For our blessed lady's sake bring us in good ale!And for our dear lady, lady love - bring us some good ale.

21Bring us home no veal, sir, that do I not desire,
22But bring us home good ale enough to drink by the fire;
23But bring us home good ale, sir, bring us home good ale,
24And for our dear lady, lady love - bring us some good ale.
