Hey! Now my sweetest bess, For why do you ride so fast? Stop awhile with a Cavalier, Come sit upon the grass. For it's been awhile, it's been awhile, it's been awhile and Oh! Come sit awhile with a Cavalier And we'll watch the evening go. I am sorry sir, no time have I No time have I to fail, My husband sits on point of death Down at Oxford Jail For it's been awhile, it's been awhile, it's been awhile and Oh! My husband is in Oxford Jail And away to him I go. But Bonny Bess no more no less No dishonour did I think, Stop awhile with a Cavalier Come and have a drink. For it's been awhile, it's been awhile, it's been awhile and Oh! Come sit awhile with a Cavalier We'll take it nice and slow. I am sorry sir, but I must ride, My husband dies at morn'. And here inside is our child Waiting to be born. For it's been awhile, it's been awhile, it's been awhile and Oh! My husband is in Oxford Jail And away to him I go. And tell me bess what sort of man Could make you ride so fast, As only a man in prison chains Could let such beauty pass. For it's been awhile, it's been awhile, it's been awhile and Oh! Come sit awhile with a Cavalier My tenderness I'll show. I bid thee sir to let me pass I ride to Free-born John, I ride to speak unto the king For the father of my son. For it's been awhile, it's been awhile, it's been awhile and Oh! My husband is in Oxford Jail And away to him I go. Oh! ride away go see your dog, A rotting in his cell, I'll see you in heaven lass, When you leave him dead in hell. For it's been awhile, it's been awhile, it's been awhile and Oh! I'll lay you down in clovergrass When you're back along this road. Ah! sir I will return, Back along this road And lay you down in clovergrass My tenderness I'll show. For it's been awhile, it's been awhile, it's been awhile and Oh! Since I cut the throat of a Cavalier We'll take it nice and slow.
