Johnny trip'd up stairs at night, Heigho! to Betty got; Johnny tript up stairs by night, Slily without candle light; Cries Bet, "Who's there?" "'Tis I, my dear, "Johnny with his shoulder knot."

What did foolish Betty do? Heigho! she knew not what; What did foolish Betty do? Lift up the latch—and in he flew; When he kiss'd, Could she resist, Johnny with his shoulder knot,

Madam Maudlin soon found out, Heigho! poor Betty's lot. Madam Maudlin soon found out, "What's this, says she, you've been about?" Betty cries, And wipes her eyes, The deuce was in his shoulder knot."
