Basket of EggsPenguin Book of English Folk Songs(Lloyd and Williams)Down in Sandbank fields, two sailors they wereWalking,Their pockets were both lined with gold.And as together they were talkingA fair maid there they did behold.With a little basket standing by herAs she sat down to take her ease.To carry it for her one of them offeredThe answer was: Sir, if you please.One of these sailors took the basket.There's eggs in the basket, please take care:And if by chance you should out-walk meAt the Half-way house please leave them there. Behold these sailors, they did out-walk her,The Half-way house they did pass by.The pretty damsel she laughed at their fancyAnd on the sailors she kept her eye.When these two sailors came unto an ale-house,There they did call for a pint of wine.Saying: Landlord, landlord, what fools in thisNation!This young maid from her eggs we've twined.O Landlord, landlord, bring us some baconWe have these eggs and we'll have some dressed. Behold, these sailors were much mistakenAs you shall say when you hear the rest.'Twas then the landlord he went to the basketExpecting of some eggs to find.He said: Young man, you're much mistaken,Instead of eggs I've found a child. Then one of them sat down to weepingThe other said: It's not worth while.Here's fifty guineas I'll give to the babyIf any woman will take the child. The pretty young damsel she sat by the fire,And she had a shawl drawn over her face.She said: I'll take it and kindly use itWhen first I see the money paid. One of the sailors threw down the moneyGreat favor to the babe was shown.Since it is so, then let's be friendlyFor you know this child it is your own. Don't you remember a-dancing with NancyAs long ago as last Easter day? Oh yes and I do and she pleased my fancySo now the fiddler I have paid. One of the sailors went up to the basketAnd he kicked the basket o'er and o'er.Since it is so, may we all be contentedBut I'm hanged if I'll like eggs any more!
