I came by Raw from Hungry Law,
When who should pass me by
But Pedler Jack with a pack on his back
And a patch across his eye.

I came by Raw from Hungry Law
And heard the pedler cry —
I've got in my pack the thing you lack —
The " Song of a Sparkling Eye " .

O Pedler Jack with the pack on your back,
Since Sally and I did part
I've saved up farthings four to buy
" The Song of a Broken Heart! "

If you want " The Song of a Broken Heart "
You go elsewhere to buy;
For I have never a song in my pack
But the " Song of a Sparkling Eye " .

O what know I of a sparkling eye
Since Sally and I did part?
— And what should Jack the pedler know
Of " The Song of a Broken Heart " ?

I came by Raw from Hungry Law,
When who should pass me by
But Pedler Jack with a pack on his back
And a patch across his eye.
