Tune-"When she cam' ben she bobbit."
O saw ye my Dear, my Philly? / O saw ye my Dear, my Philly, / She's down i' the grove, she's wi' a new Love, / She winna come hame to her Willy.
What says she my dear, my Philly? / What says she my dear, my Philly? / She lets thee to wit she has thee forgot, / And forever disowns thee, her Willy.
O had I ne'er seen thee, my Philly! / O had I ne'er seen thee, my Philly! / As light as the air, and fause as thou's fair, / Thou's broken the heart o' thy Willy.
