Bonny Kate - Shirley & Dolly Collins

'Twas at Newmarket you shall hear

There did dwell a damsel fair

At Newmarket you shall hear

There did dwell a damsel fair

Some did call her Bonny Kate

Going to

Coming from Newmarket late

Oft times a lawyer she did meet

Who enticed her with kisses sweet

Oft a lawyer she did meet

Who enticed her with kisses sweet

He enticed her more and more

Showed her gold

Showed her gold and silver store

If you will spend the night in town

These five guineas I’ll put down

If you’ll spend the night in town

These five guineas I’ll put down

So she took him to The Bell

Where in service

Where in service she did dwell

«And can I have a bed?»

said he

«For my wedded wife and me»

«Can I have a bed?»

said he

«For my wedded wife and me»

«Yes, indeed,» the landlord said

And he did not

And he did not own his maid
