Trip trap over the grass

Melody -

(A stands with a row of girls behind her; B advances.)

B. Trip trap over the grass.
    If you please, will you let one of your daughters come,
    Come and dance with me?
    I will give you pots and pans, I will give you brass,
    I will give you anything for a pretty lass.

A No.

B. I will give you gold and silver, I will give you pearl,
    I will give you anything for a pretty girl.

A Take one, take one, the fairest you may see.

B The fairest one that I can see
    Is pretty Nancy, - come to me,
    You shall have a duck, my dear, and you shall have a drake,
    And you shall have a young man apprentice for your sake.
