Folk Songs from the Eastern Counties - No. 15, Harry the Tailor (Arr. for Voice & String Quartet by Roderick Williams) (东部郡县民歌集 - 第15首，裁缝哈里（罗德里克·威廉姆斯改编为声乐与弦乐四重奏）) (Voice and string quartet)

When Harry, the tailor was twenty years old,

He ‘gan for to look with a courage so bold

Tu-re-lu-tu-re-lay.

He told his old mother he was not in jest,

But he could have a wife just as well as the rest.

Tu-re-lu-fol-de-lol-fol-de-liddle-laddi-lay.

Then Harry next morning before it was day,

To the house of a fair maid he boldly took his way.

He found his dear Dolly a-making a cheese,

Says he ‘You must give me a kiss if you please;’

She up with the bowl and the butter-milk flew,

And Harry the tailor looked wonderful blue,

‘O Dolly my dearest, O what hast thou done?

From my back to my heels has the butter-milk run.’

She gave him a push, and he stumbled and fell

Right down from the dairy into the draw well.

Then Harry the plough-boy he ran up amain,

And soon brought him up in a bucket again.

The tailor went home all like a drowned rat,

And told his old mother what he had been at,

With butter-milk, bowl, and a terrible fall,

‘O, if this be called love may the devil take all.’
