Whene'er my dame a-hedging goes
Whene'er my dame a-hedging goes
She gets a little prick between her toes.
She gets a little prick between her toes.

While ev'ry remedy I can obtain
While ev'ry remedy I can obtain
Is not enough to ease her pain.
Is not enough to ease her pain.

Whene'er my dame a-hedging goes
She gets a little prick between her toes.
And then, alas, she loudly cries,
For the anguish spreads above her thighs.
While ev'ry remedy I can obtain
Is not enough to ease her pain.
