I came by Raw from Hungry Law, When who should pass me by But Pedler Jack with a pack on his back And a patch across his eye.
I came by Raw from Hungry Law And heard the pedler cry — I've got in my pack the thing you lack — The " Song of a Sparkling Eye " .
O Pedler Jack with the pack on your back, Since Sally and I did part I've saved up farthings four to buy " The Song of a Broken Heart! "
If you want " The Song of a Broken Heart " You go elsewhere to buy; For I have never a song in my pack But the " Song of a Sparkling Eye " .
O what know I of a sparkling eye Since Sally and I did part? — And what should Jack the pedler know Of " The Song of a Broken Heart " ?
I came by Raw from Hungry Law, When who should pass me by But Pedler Jack with a pack on his back And a patch across his eye.
