OXFORDSHIRE NANCY BEWITCH'D.
A Ballad.
By the late Mr. Garrick.
Tho' I'm slim, and am young, and was lively and fair,
Cou'd sing a sweet song, and in others kill care,
Yet I'm surely bewitched, for I can't drive away,
What makes me so restless, by night and by day.
In vain I perplex my poor fancy
To find out the grief,
But alas no relief,
Heigho! what can be the matter with Nancy?
. . . [4 more verses, each with the refrain, "In vain I
perplex, &c."]
To find out the grief,
For he'll soon bring relief,
Heigho! he knows what's the matter with Nancy!
