O, yes, replied the shepherd, I saw them pass by, They're down in yonder valley and that is very nigh, She returned herself with a curtsey and thanked him with a blush And young Johnny followed after and they lodged in a bush, Lodged in a bush.
I love my love, there is no doubt, it's all for love again, And if she says she loves me not, I laugh at her disdain; If she is constant, I'll be true, and forever we'll agree, But if ever I find she's changed her mind, I'll change mine as well as she.

NOTE: Despite the title, this is not really a book of bawdy songs; it consists of poems and traditional songs on "impolite" themes -- but the few pieces that are not fit for polite company have been at least somewhat bowdlerized.
This is a sort of semi-popular book; there are few source notes about the songs, some of which are probably not traditional, though there is no way to know which except to see which ones don't show up elsewhere.
Also omitted is H523, "Dun Ceithern," which may not be by Henry but is certainly no folk song.
