III. Here’s three sweeps, three by three, And down by the door they bend their knee; Oh! shall we have lodgings here, oh, here? Oh! shall we have lodgings here? Sleep, dear daughter, do not wake, For here’s three sweeps coming to take; Lodgings here they shall not have, So sleep, dear daughter, sleep. Here’s three bakers, three by three, And down by the door they bend their knee; Oh! shall we have lodgings here, oh, here? Oh! shall we have lodgings here? Sleep, dear daughter, do not wake, &c. (as above). Here’s three kings, three by three, &c. (as above). Wake, dear daughter, do not sleep, For here’s three kings coming to take; Lodgings here they all may have, So wake, dear daughter, wake. Here’s my daughter, safe and sound, And on her finger a guinea gold ring, And in her pocket a thousand pounds, So she is fit to marry a king. Here’s your daughter, safe and sound, And on her finger no guinea gold ring, And in her pocket no thousand pounds, So she’s not fit to marry a king. —Aberdeen Training College (Rev. W. Gregor). IV. Here come three tailors, three by three, To court your daughter, fair and fair; Have you got a lodger here, oh, here? Have you got a lodger here? Sleep, daughter, sleep, sleep, Here come three tailors we can’t take; We haven’t got a lodger here, oh, here, We haven’t got a lodger here. [The verses are repeated for “sailors,” “blacksmiths,” &c., and then “kings,” and ends in the same way as the preceding version.] —Swaffham, Norfolk (Miss Matthews). V. Here come three sailors, three by three, A courting your daughter, Caroline Mee; [Some would sing it “Because your daughter”] Can we have a lodging here to-night? Sleep, daughter, do not wake, Here’s three sailors we can’t take; You cannot have a lodging here to-night. Here come three soldiers, three by three, A courting your daughter, Caroline Mee; Can we have a lodging here to-night? Sleep, daughter, do not wake, Here’s three soldiers we can’t take; You cannot have a lodging here to-night. [This is repeated for “kings,” and the game ends as in the previous versions. “Three” hundred pounds being substituted for “five.”] —Deptford, Kent (Miss Chase).
