JEMMY DAWSON by ANONYMOUS

First Line: BRAVE NEWS IS COME TO TOWN
Last Line: AND THEN HE BOUGHT A CRADLE

BRAVE news is come to town,
Brave news is carried;
Brave news is come to town,
Jemmy Dawson's married.

First he got a porridge-pot,
Then he bought a ladle;
Then he got a wife and child,
And then he bought a cradle.
