There was a lad by name of Lollybob, / A fine upstanding lad was he; / Who went to town to find himself a job / A 'prenticeship to candlemakers three.// He kissed his mother and he walked away. / "Farewell, my lovely son," she sighed; / "Remember this and that and every day / To keep a bridle on your foolish pride."* (Chorus:) O woe is me, for I am run out of town, / Run out of town, run out of town, / /O woe is me, for I am run out of town, / For letting my tongue run free!*
