COCK-A-BANDY by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "CLAP HANDS, CLAP HANDS, / HIE, TOMMY RANDY"
Last Line: AND OH! BUT HE IS HANDSOME

CLAP hands, clap hands,
Hie, Tommy Randy,
Did you see my good man?
They call him Cock-a-bandy.

Silken stockings on his legs,
Silver buckles glancin',
A sky-blue bonnet on his head,
And oh! but he is handsome.
