JOHN JIGGY JAG by ANONYMOUS

First Line: LITTLE JOHN JIGGY JAG / HE RODE A PENNY NAG
Last Line: "SO, JOHNNY, HOW DOST THOU NOW?"
LITTLE John Jiggy Jag,
He rode a penny nag,
And went to Wigan to woo:
When he came to a beck,
He fell and broke his neck,
Johnny, how dost thou now?

I made him a hat
Of my coat lap,
And stockings of pearly blue;
A hat and a feather,
To keep out cold weather,
So, Johnny, how dost thou now?
