W:
W:1. It's of three north noble country dukes from the Newmarket came
W:All for a wager they did run, and the riders to do the same, The same, the same, and the riders to do the same.
W:2. And as they were a-riding along the road, they met with a little boy "Come show to me Lord Framplin's halls that his horses we may see." May see, may see, etc.
W:3. Then he took them into his middlemost stable, among those riders all
W:There was great Greasy-heel, little Lamp-boy Jack, little Molly shall run with you all.
W:4. Then up bespoke the poorest duke, the poorest of those three
W:"I'll run you for thirty thousand pounds, and tomorrow shall be the day."
W:5. So when Lord Framplin heard those words, he stood with his hat in his hand "I'll run you for gold whilst gold shall hold, and I'll make it upon your land."
W:6. Then the drums and the trumpets we did sound, all for them to get ready And all Lord Frampton had to say, "Mind you, Jack boy, and be steady."
W:7. The first milepost he did come at, Lord Thompson's man did say: "If you can't go no faster than this, kind sir, I'll show you the way."
