Sir Hugh, or the Jew’s Daughter
No: 155; variant: 155[U]
- You toss your ball so high,
You toss your ball so low,
You toss your ball into the Jew's garden,
Where the pretty flowers grow.
- Out came one of the Jew's daughters,
Dressed all in green:
'Come hither, pretty little dear,
And fetch your ball again.'
- She showed him a rosy-cheeked apple,
She showed him a gay gold ring,
She showed him a cherry as red as blood,
And that enticed him in.
- She set him in a golden chair,
She gave him kisses sweet,
She threw him down a darksome well,
More than fifty feet deep.
