Won't you help support DayPoems? Ruggleton's Daughter of IeroBy Anonymous16th CenturyChild Ballad 277 There was a man lived in the West; Fal lal lal lal lal li-do, He married a wife - she was not of the best; She was Ruggleton's daughter of Iero. Said he, when he came in from plough: Fal lal lal lal lal li-do, Ho! is my dinner ready now? To Ruggleton's daughter of Iero. O if your dinner you must have, Then get it yourself; I am not your slave, Said Ruggleton's daughter of Iero. For I won't brew and I won't bake, Fal lal lal lal lal li-do, And I won't make my white hands black Said Ruggleton's daughter of Iero. O you shall brew and you shall bake, Fal lal lal lal lal li-do, And you shall make your white hands black, To Ruggleton's daughter of Iero. He took a stick down off the rack; Fal lal lal lal lal li-do, And on the back went rickety-rack Of Ruggleton's daughter of Iero. O I will bake and I will brew Fal lal lal lal lal li-do, And I will cook your meat for you Said Ruggleton's daughter of Iero. DayPoems Poem No. 2560 Comment on DayPoems?
