## The words

Rutterkin is come unto our town In a cloak  
without coat or gown save ragged hood to cover  
his crown Like a Rutterkin, Hoyda,  
hoyda, jolly Rutterkin! Hoyda,  
hoyda, jolly Rutterkin! Hoyda,  
hoyda, hoy da! Like a Rutter - kin,  
hoyda!  
Rutterkin can speak no English,  
His tongue runneth all on butter’d fish,  
Besmear’d with grease about his dish,  
Like a Rutterkin, Hoyda, hoyda,  
jolly Rutterkin! Hoyda, hoyda,  
jolly Rutterkin! Hoyda, hoyda,  
hoy da! Like a Rutter - kin, hoyda!  
Rurterkin shall bring you all good luck,  
A stoup of beer up at a pluck Till his brain be  
as wise as a duck, Like a Rutterkin,  
Hoyda, hoyda, jolly Rutterkin!  
Hoyda, hoyda jolly Rutterkin!  
Hoyda, hoyda, hoy da! Like a Rutter - kin,  
Hoyda!
