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

Chorus:
'Twas Moll and Bet and Doll and Kit
And Dolly to drag her tail
'Twas Tom and Dick and Joe and Jack
And Humphrey with his flail
Then Tom kissed Molly and Dick kissed Betty
And Joe kissed Dolly and Jack kissed Kitty
And Humphrey with his flail
And Kitty she was a charming girl
To carry the milking pail

Dame Durdan in the morn so soon she did begin to call
To rouse her servants, maids and men, she did begin to bawl

Chorus

'Twas on the morn of Valentine when birds begin to prate
Dame Durdan and her maids and men they all together meet

Chorus:
'Twas Moll and Bet and Doll and Kit
And Dolly to drag her tail
'Twas Tom and Dick and Joe and Jack
And Humphrey with his flail
Then Tom kissed Molly and Dick kissed Betty
And Joe kissed Dolly and Jack kissed Kitty
And Humphrey with his flail
Kiss Dorothy Draggletail
And Kitty she was a charming girl
To carry the milking pail
