Beware of the Ripples

I advise you beware o' the ripples, young man
I advise you beware o' the ripples, young man
Though the saddle be saft, you needna ride aft
For fear that the thrustin' beguile you, young man

I advise you beware o' the ripples, young man
I advise you beware o' the ripples, young man
Though music be pleasure, take music in measure
Or you may lack wind in your whistle, young man

I advise you beware o' the ripples, young man
I advise you beware o' the ripples, young man
Whate'er they demand, do less than you can
The more will be thought of your kindness, young man

I advise you beware o' the ripples, young man
I advise you beware o' the ripples, young man
If you would be strong and wish to live long
Dance less wi' your chest to the nipples, young man
