The songs sung by many folk groups tell a story

The Golden Glove - - A wealthy young squire of Tamworth, we hear, - He courted a nobleman's daughter so fair; - And for to marry her it was his intent, - All friends and relations gave their consent. - 2. The time was appointed for the wedding-day, - A young farmer chosen to give her away; - As soon as the farmer the young lady did spy, - He inflamed her heart; O, my heart! she did cry. - - 3. She turned from the squire, but nothing she said, - Instead of being married she took to her bed; - The thought of the farmer soon run in her mind, - A way for to have him she quickly did find. - - 4. Coat, waistcoat, and breeches she then did put on, - And a hunting she went with her dog and her gun; - She hunted all round where the farmer did dwell, - Because in her heart she did love him full well:

Let not the ballad-singer’s shrilling strain, Amid the swarm thy list’ning ear detain:, Guard well thy pocket; for these sirens stand, To aid the labours of the diving hand ... ~ John Gay
