tration: TOM, THE PIPER'S SON] [Music: Tom, Tom, the piper's son, Stole a pig and away did run; The pig was eat, and Tom was beat, And Tom went roaring down the street.] [Illustration: THERE WAS A LADY LOVED A SWINE] [Music: 1. There was a lady loved a swine, "Honey!" said she; "Pig-hog, wilt thou be mine?" "Hunc!" said he. 2. "I'll build thee a silver sty, Honey!" said she; "And in it thou shalt lie!" "Hunc!" said he.] 3. "Pinned with a silver pin, Honey!" said she; "That thou mayest go out and in," "Hunc!" said he. 4. "Will thou have me now, Honey?" said she; "Speak, or my heart will break," "Hunc!" said he.
