Every kind of dainty, no scarcity was there

They had 10 pints apiece, me lads, but still they wouldn't get out

These three drunken maidens, they pushed the jug about

Then in came the landlord, looking for his pay

Forty pound of bill, me lads, the girls were supposed to pay

GCDG
Where are your feathered hats, your mantles rich and fine?
GCDG
"They've all been swallowed up, me lads, in tankards of good wine"
AmAm/EGD
And where are your fancy men, young maidens, brisk and gay?
GCDG
"We left them in the alehouse, since there, they'll have to pay"
