She went to the cobbler's

To buy him some shoes,
But when she came back
He was reading the news.

She went to the sempstress
To buy him some linen,
But when she came back
The dog was spinning.

She went to the hosier's

To buy him some hose,

But when she came back

He was dress'd in his clothes.

The dame made a curtsey,
The dog made a bow;

The dame said, "Your servant,"

The dog said, "Bow, wow."
