"I ain't very pertic'lar who it is!
Ran dan row de dow, on we go!"
_Chorus_.--Ran, dan, etc.

III

Ve collar'd the blunt, started off for town, [3]
With the dashy, splashy, leary little stringer,
Horses knock'd up, men knock'd down--
Phililoo!

A lady's carriage we next espied,
I collar'd the blunt, Jack jumped inside,
Ran dan row de dow, on we go!
_Chorus_.--Ran, dan, etc.


IV

Jack took off his hat, with a jaunty air--
The dashy, splashy, leary little stringer--
And he kiss'd the lips of the lady fair--
Phililoo!

She sigh'd a sigh, and her looks said plain,
I don't care much if I'm robb'd again!
Ran dan row de dow, on we go!
_Chorus_.--Ran, dan, etc.
