Oh Mother

Oh Mother, Roger with his kisses
Almost stops my Breath, I vow;
Why does he grip my Hand to pieces,
And yet he says he Loves me too?

Refrain:

Tell me, Mother, pray now do
Pray now, pray now, pray now do,
Tell me, Mother, pray now do,
Pray now, pray now, pray now, do
What Roger means when he does so,
For never stir I long to know.

Nay more, the naughty Man beside it
Something in my Mouth he put;
I called him beast and tried to Bite it,
But for my Life I cannot do't:

He sets me in his Lap whole Hours,
Where I feel I know not what;
Something I never felt in yours,
Tell me Mother, what is that?
