45. My Girl she’s Airy: A Fragment

Tune—“Black Jock.”


MY girl she’s airy, she’s buxom and gay;
Her breath is as sweet as the blossoms in May;
A touch of her lips it ravishes quite:
She’s always good natur’d, good humour’d, and free;
She dances, she glances, she smiles upon me;	5
I never am happy when out of her sight.
