Dame Durden kept five servant maids
To carry the milking pail
She also kept five labouring men
To use the spade and flail

'Twas Moll and Bet, and Doll and Kit
 And Dolly to drag her tail
It was Tom and Dick, and Joe and Jack
And Humphrey with his flail

 And Joe kissed Dolly, and Jack kissed Kitty
 And Humphrey with his flail
And Kitty she was the charming girl
 To carry her milking pail

Dame Durden in the morning so soon
She did begin to call
To rouse her servants, maids and men,
 She did begin to bawl

'Twas Moll and Bet, and Doll and Kit
 And Dolly to drag her tail
It was Tom and Dick, and Joe and Jack
And Humphrey with his flail

 And Joe kissed Dolly, and Jack kissed Kitty
 And Humphrey with his flail
And Kitty she was the charming girl
 To carry her milking pail

'Twas on the morn of Valentine
When birds began to tweet
Dame Durden and her maids and men
They all together meet

'Twas Moll and Bet, and Doll and Kit
 And Dolly to drag her tail
It was Tom and Dick, and Joe and Jack
And Humphrey with his flail

 And Joe kissed Dolly, and Jack kissed Kitty
 And Humphrey with his flail
And Kitty she was the charming girl
 To carry her milking pail
