Song: John Cooper was boring a great piece of timber,...

by William Boyce . For Three voices , in A minor

Text:

John Cooper was boring a great piece of timber, he bored and he bored but his tool was too limber,
with his breakfast his wife came jumping with glee and cried, “Here’s a morsel for me and for thee,”
when John had well feasted he bored with more might, his wife was well please and all things went right.
