Original:
Boys and girls
come out to play,
The moon doth shine
as bright as day,
Leave your supper,
and leave your sleep,
And come with your playfellows
into the street.
Come with a whoop,
come with a call,
Come with a good will,
or not at all.
Up the ladder
and down the wall,
A halfpenny loaf
will serve us all.
You find milk,
and I'll find flour,
And we'll have pudding
within the hour
William's:
Servants and maids
Need not be afraid
You, my lady shall protect
As fiercely as she does me
Forget your unfinished chores
And forget your master's snores
I'll lead the way, so just follow me
Deeper into the forest
Come with your hopes
Come with your worries
Come for your friend
But don't come not at all
Over this fallen tree
Just beyond the town limits
A chance to escape
Awaits each one of us
You gather your courage
And I'll find a safe destination
So you may safely run away
Within our shadows safe embrace
