The Jolly Tinker A comely dame of Islington had got a leaky copper;The hole that let the liquor run was wanting of a stopper.A jolly tinker undertook and promised her most fairly(With a thump, thump, thump and a knick, knack, knock)To do her business rarely. He turned the vessel to the ground, said he, "A good old copperBut it well may leak, for I have found a hole in it that's a whopper.But never doubt a tinker's stroke; although he's black and surlyHe'll do your business rarely." The man of mettle opened wide his budget's mouth to please her.Says he, "This tool I've oft employed about such jobs as these are."With that the jolly tinker took a stroke or two most kindly.He did her business finely. As soon as he had done the feat he cried, " Tis very hot, O. This thrifty labour make me sweat; give me a cooling pot, O." Says she, "Bestow the other stroke before you take your farewell, And you may drink a barrel."
