What care I for your goose feather bed
With the sheets turned down so bravely
Well I may sleep on the cold hard ground
Along with the Black Jack Davy

Then I'll kick off my high heeled shoes
Made of the Spanish leather
And I'll put on my lowland brogues
And skip it o'er the heather

~ Steeleye Span, "Black Jack Davy"

One misty moisty morning when cloudy was the weather

He was clothéd all in leather with a cap beneath his chin
Singing "How d' you do and how d' you do and how d' you do again?"

And it's a long way to go
