Cara Luft - The Ploughboy and the Cockney lyrics

It's of a London co*kney I now will relate He went into the country to find himself a mate He went into the country to find himself a mate He rode and he rode until he came to some public town 
And there he alighted to drink at the Crown And there he alighted to drink at the Crown A beautiful damsel he there did espy Which caused him to tarry and therefore to bide Which caused him to tarry and therefore to bide He said, “My fair damsel, if you will be mine 
Then all the gold and silver I have shall be thine Then all the gold and silver I have shall be thine.” But a ploughboy was standing by and hearin' him say so 
He said, “Me London co*kney, I know what I know,” He said, “Me London co*kney, I know what I know.” “We shall take up our arrows and go fight in the field
 We'll fight a good battle and gain her good will We'll fight a good battle and gain her good will.” And when he said this, he gave him such a blow “Oh, now me London co*kney, you know what I know! Now me London co*kney, you know what I know!” Oh, it never shall be said on all the plough bench That a ploughboy was not willin' to fight for his wench 
That a ploughboy was not willin' to fight for his wench “Oh, carry me to London and there let me die Don't let me die here in a strange country
 Don't let me die here in a strange country.”
